HSE staff urged to attend 2-hour ‘kindness’ workshops

Kindness costs nothing, as the saying goes — unless you are a HSE employee, whereupon it could cost two hours of your working day.

For an organisation with no real ratings on the warm and fuzzy scale, staff were left bemused by a recent internal circular inviting them to participate in ‘Kindness Workshops’.

“The two-hour workshop aims to share the most recent evidence and research on human kindness and establishes the link between kindness and productivity,” the circular said.
