An AI-powered workplace engagement platform designed to create a more caring and connected workforce.
What if AI-powered tools could foster a kinder, more connected workplace?
Work is one of the few remaining places where people with different viewpoints and life experiences are asked to collaborate every day. The quality of those interactions—how people communicate, navigate tension, and show care—shapes workplace culture, trust, and team performance.
WorkKind AI is an AI-powered workplace engagement platform that supports teams through these everyday moments, especially when conversations feel sensitive, complex, or high-stakes—making it easier for teams to communicate thoughtfully, strengthen trust, and work better together.
"Employee grief costs U.S. businesses about $75 billion annually, while job stress and burnout have been estimated to cost industry hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Perhaps grief and suffering could be healed more fully if compassion were unleashed in work organizations."

Everyday acts of kindness and care can build trust and connection between colleagues, improving how teams communicate, collaborate, and perform.
WorkKind AI, an AI-powered workplace engagement platform, gives teams the tools and resources to communicate with care in everyday work interactions.
A simple prompt to help you practice care at work—by recognizing a colleague's contributions, experiences, or supporting your own growth.
Tip: Be specific about what you appreciate. Specificity helps care feel genuine, grounded, and relevant.
A shared space for recognizing moments of care, connection, and collaboration at work.
Employees can add short notes, reflections, or quotes to a shared board—similar to a digital wall of post-its—highlighting moments that strengthened connection, teamwork, and belonging, and stories of "acts of care."
"Thank you to my manager for creating space for honest conversation during a challenging week. It helped me feel supported and heard."
"Seeing small moments of kindness across the team reminds me why I enjoy working here."
"Grateful for how our team handled a tough deadline—clear communication and mutual respect made it possible."

"Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued."
"What I've found through research is that trust is built in very small moments…"
"Your presence is the most precious gift you can give to another human being."
"I dreamed about a culture of belonging. I still dream that dream."
Connection at work doesn't only happen inside meetings, email, or chat tools. This upcoming WorkKind AI feature is designed to help people build care and connection through professionally relevant, real-world experiences—both within and beyond their organization.
The experience will surface opportunities such as book clubs, virtual lunches, learning communities, and professional networking events. These experiences support connection, collaboration, and growth—especially helpful for distributed, hybrid, and remote teams.
Organizations can choose how the feature is used: to highlight internal initiatives, trusted external opportunities, or a mix of both.
