As adults, we dedicate a big chunk of our lives to our jobs, and a significant part of that time is spent with our coworkers. So it makes a world of difference when we genuinely enjoy the company of the people we share our desk (and office snacks) with. Especially when they go the extra mile to brighten everyone’s day with thoughtful gestures, like writing thank-you notes or even bringing homemade treats to the office.

If you’re one of those amazing people, know that your efforts are deeply appreciated. In fact, sometimes they resonate so strongly, they get shared all over the internet! Here at Bored Panda, we’ve gathered a collection of these wholesome moments where coworkers have gone above and beyond for each other. Find them below and upvote the ones that touched your heart!

I hope his colleagues return the gesture when it comes to holidays that are important to him. Unfortunately it's becoming more common for there to be an expectation that childless or people with no religion should automatically cover these holidays which I don't agree with. I used to always cover these holidays and one year I had plans with friends over Christmas and my coworkers were very annoyed that I wouldn't work those days even though I had covered these holidays for the past 7 years straight often working days and hours that werent part of my contract (weekends, late nights etc). Please be mindful that no one is obliged to work these hours for you because they amdont have kids or are christian. In a lot of countries these are public holidays which everyone is entitled to so be grateful and return the favour for anyone offering to cover these holidays!

It may not seem like a big deal to look out for your coworkers, but when you consider that many are fighting their own silent battles, it really puts things into perspective. A colleague could be having health issues, a family crisis, or simply a bad day. Most people don’t even openly share with their employer if they’re feeling stressed at work.

“We all have different struggles, and yet kindness is something that everybody wants. It is a universal language that can help us communicate during times where there’s a lot of translation going on,” says Adrienne Bankert, ABC correspondent and author of Your Hidden Superpower: The Kindness That Makes You Unbeatable at Work and Connects You With Anyone.

Adrienne credits kindness as the reason she landed her job at ABC News. The general manager acknowledged that while Bankert’s resume was strong, it wasn’t the sole factor that impressed her. Instead, after speaking with a woman who knew Adrienne throughout her career, the manager came away with a sense of how she interacted with others. “I can teach you how to be a better writer, or be a better reporter,” she told Adrienne, “but I cannot teach ‘nice’. That is what we need more of in this business.”

“Our kind self is our best self,” thinks Adrienne. “Our individual kindness, our voice, our gestures are like our fingerprint.”

Truthfully, a positive attitude can transform a workplace. Studies show that employees who are friendly and respectful to each other have 26% more energy, 36% more satisfaction with their job, and 44% more commitment to their organization. Moreover, when people feel supported and valued, they are more likely to be productive and deliver high-quality work. This encouraging environment creates a safe space where employees feel comfortable sharing ideas and taking risks.

“Humans are a very cooperative species,” explains Dr. Oliver Scott Curry, Chief Science Officer at Kindness.org. “Kindness in all of its various forms is a way of kickstarting that cooperation.”

A recent study by Kindness.org, in collaboration with Beekman 1802, found that employees naturally gravitate towards workplaces where people are treated well. For instance, 77% of respondents said they are more likely to apply for jobs that list “kindness” as a key company value. 74% also reported that it’s important for them to have managers who check in on their team members, offering both professional and personal support. And, surprisingly, kindness at work appears to be a bigger predictor of happiness than income.

The place I work for has a lot of issues (as most places), but now that I think about it, at least our janitors are treated with respect. They have their own bureau, they’re included in events like Christmas parties etc., they can use the normal breakrooms… (the last two should be a given imo. Someone being forced or harrassed into drinking their coffee in front of the gate? That poor man!)

I am transgender and currently work full-time for Starbucks. I have savings but it’s never been enough to justify paying to get my name legally changed, but for my birthday this year my coworkers all came together and pooled money to give to me to get it changed! This is literally the nicest thing anyone has done for me and it certainly made me smile.

And it’s no wonder kindness is so highly valued. Dr. Kathryn Greiner writes that its impact extends to tangible physical benefits. It acts as a natural stress reliever, lowering cortisol levels and blood pressure. When we do something nice for others, our brains get a boost too. Pleasure and reward centers light up, releasing hormones like endorphins and dopamine, leaving us feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside.

when i was with the district attorney's office i was assigned to the bull pen that was the first line of officers that the public spoke to regarding their cases. of course, most people are upset/angry etc and they will let all of that spill out towards you just because you are there. you kind of get used to people telling you where you can go and what you can do with small farm animals - if you get my drift. but, the 4 officers in this pen are human, have lives, and things can go sideways for us but we can't let that affect how we treat the people who come in. it became an unspoken agreement unknown to upper management if one of us was stressed out the other 3 would have our clerk route all calls to us. stressed person could work on cases quietly or play a game of solitaire - whatever they needed. unbeknownst to us until later the d.a. was aware this arrangement all along and later told us that he wished all his groups could care about each other - then maybe they wouldn't burn out

Moreover, good deeds are contagious, research proves. They spark a ripple effect, one person helping another, then another. When someone experiences kindness, they’re more likely to pass it on, creating a wave of cooperation that can influence many people within a social circle.

It’s even more meaningful when this attitude spreads to leadership levels. Three in five employees believe that kind management is the reason they want to stay at their company longer than they originally planned.

“Kindness is a choice, and we all have a choice,” says Dr Bonnie Hayden Cheng, an associate professor at Hong Kong University Business School. In Hong Kong, society is more hierarchical, bureaucratic, and traditional, which can hinder compassion and empathy in the corporate space. However, Dr. Cheng argues that these elements can make for an effective leadership strategy.

“[It] doesn’t mean you have to lower your standards,” she emphasizes. “You can still have high expectations, you can still hold your people accountable, but you’re doing so with kindness as the underpinning factor that allows your people to trust your decisions, knowing that you have their best interests at heart.”

In Harvard Business Review, Andrew Swinand, entrepreneur and CEO of the Inspired Thinking Group, shares his tips on promoting workplace kindness. Start with yourself: prioritize your own well-being, because it directly affects those around you. This might involve setting boundaries, like avoiding non-urgent work emails after hours, or taking a mental health day to recharge. When you’re well-rested, you have more energy to be a great teammate.

Sarah Goff-Dupont, Principal Writer at Atlassian, suggests that small actions can make a difference. For example, something simple like inviting new coworkers to grab lunch or coffee is a great way to welcome them. Take note of your colleagues’ interests: if you see an article they’d love or an album that fits their vibe, send it their way. Highlighting their achievements is also easy—leave a personal recommendation on LinkedIn to show you care about their work.

Birthday Haul From The Most Considerate Coworkers In The World

Birthday Haul From The Most Considerate Coworkers In The World

Been at a new job for 4 months and really didn't expect anything, but I sure was wrong. Among many other perks, the owners set aside $175 and have the person's coworkers pick out the gifts (on the clock, of course). A couple of months ago I mentioned how I love Kerrygold, but man it is expensive, so I got 2 lbs of it. Also, I was talking about how I love making pizza from scratch but needed a new peel and screen so they got that as well as a few lbs of specialty pizza flour. Lastly, I just built my first PC with the help of a coworker (so they knew all the specs), but I mentioned how I could use a little more RAM, so they got me another 2 sticks of the same kind. I guess this is what an awesome workplace is like!

Period Present For My Coworker. Some Women Don't Always Have A Partner In Their Life Or Don't Have One That Is Super Thoughtful To Women's Feelings

Period Present For My Coworker. Some Women Don't Always Have A Partner In Their Life Or Don't Have One That Is Super Thoughtful To Women's Feelings

My coworker and I work our butts off on graveyard shifts and if you're a lady you can understand how bad the first few days of your period can be. I don't always do this but as she is my new friend I wanted to give her a surprise gift. We talked about our lives and turns out we both had a really bad day, we cried and laughed together before our shift. I know this made her day better tho so if you have a lady who's having a hard time, don't forget to appreciate her and all her hard work (this really goes for anyone at anytime, our mental health is so important and we really have to be there for each other). I hope this inspires you to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Today I Made Curry For My Coworkers

I won’t be working here much longer, and my coworkers have come to really enjoy my food (curry buns and beef bulgogi mostly), so to show them I appreciate all of their kind words about my cooking, I made as many to go boxes of curry as I could and handed them out.

My Wife And Her Coworkers Who I’ve Never Met All Offering Their Support As I Try To Get Onto A Better Career Path

When I was drinking and using I always felt like no one cared or wanted to help me. It’s nice to no longer feel so isolated. After being in recovery I want to cry sometimes when I realize how many people are actually there for me when I need help.
