Being kind is our number one priority - for our people, our products, our community and our planet.

So of course, when a day like World Kindness Day rolls around, our team got chatting about how we’ll be celebrating with some random acts of kindness. 

November 13^th is the perfect time to extend kindness to those around us, whether it’s something you do for your desk mate, a pledge to be kinder to the environment, a self-care ritual you’ll commit to, a random act in your community, or any other form of kindness you can think of.

Take a look at how our team is practicing kindness for some inspo this World Kindness Day…

I’ll celebrate by walking into work instead of driving (5.7km might I add!), which is kind to the environment, myself and also means a colleague can use my car spot for the day. It’s a win for everyone.  – Jess, Copywriter

At my house I’m making a street library and a community veggie patch that all the neighbours can use. – Karen, Senior Product Manager, Bonds

This World Kindness Day, I’ll pledge to be kinder to myself when I look in the mirror and remind those around me how beautiful they are. I’ll make a healthy, green breakfast and feed my worm farm with the leftovers. And in the evening, I’ll find one film to watch that educates me about being kinder to the planet – because knowledge is power. – Kedda, Senior Brand Manager

I’ll be kind to myself by moving my body and taking time out to meditate, be kind to my workmates by helping them where I can and encouraging a low stress environment, and be kind to the planet by using reusable items for all my meals and drinks. – Gabrielle, Social Media Specialist

I try to do something kind for someone once a week, whether it’s a compliment, buy them a coffee, babysit for my sister, or create my own charity exhibition. Giving back is good for the world (& soul). – Megan, Marketing Manager 

One act of kindness I do fortnightly is I drive my neighbour whose husband sadly passed a few months ago to Waverly cemetery to visit him as she doesn’t drive, and we live on the other side of the city. – Erin, Assistant Product Manager

I will be celebrating World Kindness Day by practicing self-care, starting off with taking my dogs for a walk past my favourite tree which is always full of birds! It’s a happy place for me and I want to set up a routine to go past on tough days. I always make a point of speaking to my older neighbours on my walks as I know a few of them don’t have many visitors, so hopefully they will be out and about so we can check in too. – Gabby, Customer Service Representative

I plan to be kind to my team and shout them a morning coffee! Plus, an act of kindness to myself by committing to a gym session pre work. - Kelly, Head of Marketing 

We are going to send a package to our customer service team in Manila with some little notes and gifts for them! We are also planning to get a little jar that we can put messages of kindness in so we can recognise when people in the team do something kind. We are also going to write a couple of cards for other departments that help us as well! – Danielle, Customer Service Online Manager

I’m going to be kinder to myself by making time for my health. I often neglect my own health and happiness when life gets busy. - Sarra, Assistant Brand Manager

For the week surrounding World Kindness Day in November, I’ll be limiting myself to 3-minute showers for the good of the environment, with the hope to continue it for a month. – Fraser, Recruitment Advisor

A random act of kindness I do is take my elderly neighbour Janet for coffee every few weeks as she recently had a stroke and lives by herself. A self-care ritual for myself is to attend Pilates classes weekly instead of making excuses! – Charlotte, Senior Designer

I am going to just try and be nicer. To everyone and anyone I come into contact with. Because no one wakes up with the intention of being hard work! And you get a better result if you’re just NICE. – Wendy, Talent Acquisition Manager
