On 13 November 2025, individuals, workplaces, and communities across the globe will observe World Kindness Day, a celebration of compassion, empathy, and shared humanity. Kindness, often seen as a personal virtue, is also a strategic force in building trust, safety, and inclusion, especially in regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and employment. The 2025 campaign calls on organisations to transform kindness into action: through respectful leadership, psychological safety, and values-based governance. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how small acts of kindness can drive big change, strengthening culture, boosting morale, and embedding ethical practice through ComplyPlus™, where well-being and compliance work hand in hand.

From 10 to 14 November 2025, the UK will come together for Anti-Bullying Week, coordinated by the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) under the theme “Power for Good.” The campaign highlights how every individual, whether a child, teacher, colleague, or leader, can use their influence to create safer, kinder, and more respectful environments. It begins with Odd Socks Day on Monday, 10 November, where wearing mismatched socks celebrates individuality and reminds us that our differences make us stronger. For regulated sectors such as education, health and social care, and workplaces, the week is a powerful reminder that safeguarding, inclusion, and well-being are not optional; they are core to compliance and culture. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how organisations can turn awareness into action by embedding anti-bullying principles into governance, workforce training, and everyday behaviour through ComplyPlus™.
