Altruism is when we act to promote someone else’s welfare even at a risk or cost to ourselves. According to research conducted by the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2013, altruism in the workplace has many benefits.
A Fast Company article highlighted some benefits of altruism. Altruists are more likely to help fellow employees, be more committed to their work, and, be less likely to quit their jobs. The bottom line is that helping others makes us happier and enhances our workplace.
Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
If you want to help yourself emotionally, give helping others a try.
