Imagine a hospital that wanted to create a kind workplace, reduce employee stress and increase productivity. Then imagine Tucson Medical Center partnering with THE kindest organization on the planet to make that happen. Imagine Ben’s Bells. Join me for a conversation with these two amazing women who will talk about the evidence-based information and the kinds of activities in Kind Colleagues which help to deepen the practice of kindness at Tucson Medical Center’s hospitals and clinics. I, for one, believe the world can use more kindness and there isn’t an organization on the planet today that can teach us all just how to make that happen. And there isn’t a better partner than TMC to actively apply their values in everyday situations and embed kindness in the core of their culture, beginning with their staff. This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Medical Center.
