5 Benefits of Being Nicer to Co-workers (Video) - The Muse 5 Benefits of Being Nicer to Co-workers (Video) On busy days at the office, the simple act of being nice to co-workers can feel a bit like a chore. All we want to do is get our work done and get out. But, what if I told you that being nicer and more generous will make you happier? OK, fine, maybe not right away (especially during those days when you’re swamped)- but definitely in the long run. Yeah, yeah, you want proof.

And I don’t think I have to explain to you why a happier and healthier you leads to more long-term career success. Photo of co-workers courtesy of Shutterstock.
