Microsoft Workplace Wellness for Mental Health + Kind Kits
The bKind team was honored to collaborate with Microsoft to create workplace wellness videos for the 2026 Mental Health Awareness Month theme of “More Good Days, Together.” This joint endeavor at Microsoft Times Square launched Workplace Yoga & Meditation, in support of the dedicated volunteers who give their time & expertise to elevate under resourced communities. Research shows that short wellness breaks (without leaving your desk!) can significantly improve productivity, problem-solving, & job performance, contributing to the valuable global initiatives led by Kristine, with remarkable teams developing and leveraging the best technology to DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE.
