Here are a few ways you can cut out workplace rudeness and fill it with compassion:

Feedback. Not sure where you stand? Ask the 5 colleagues you frequently work with. Asking them how you can best support or respect them is a great way to gain insight into your workplace habits.

Make random acts of kindness consistent. Bringing in the occasional box of donuts brightness the day of your team. How can you create an incentive for your colleagues to consistently do thoughtful things for one another? Zappos created a program that rewards employees when they are caught performing random acts of kindness with rewards/bonuses.

Ambush people with covert acts of kindness.

Missteps and Mishaps usually aren’t intentional. Give your co-workers the grace that you so hope for yourself.
