Several years ago, we decided that Valentine’s Day shouldn’t just be a day just for lovers with lovers – it should be an entire WEEK where everybody gets to experience a little love and appreciation at the workplace. After all, love and appreciation lead to happiness. And happiness is known to boost productivity.
Since we believe that work should be filled with happiness, we started a little experiment that kinda blew out of control and showed just how much human beings truly love and care about each other—when you make ‘love and care’ a workplace “game”.
During Love Week at Mindvalley, every person on the team is designated with a Secret Angel for the week, which takes place around Valentine’s each year (but of course). This year it’s Monday, Feb 10 to Friday, Feb 14.
And we want you to get your company to join in. Warning—this will shift your company culture. And you will continue doing this EVERY YEAR. It’s that powerful.
We’ve had some generous and creative angels in the past who surprised their humans with flowers, notes of appreciation, paid-for massages, and even a serenade by the more vocally-gifted of us. Other sweet ideas you might consider are: inspiring messages, chocolates, flowers, a delicious lunch, a personalized music playlist, a decorated desk, massage-o-grams, a cup of their favorite coffee, or even something quirky from Fiverr.com.

Update from Vishen:
So hundreds of companies are now participating in #loveweek. High schools, small entrepreneurial outfits, government agencies like Nova Scotia’s Department of Labor, several larger corporations with 500+ employees and more. I notice it’s mostly women led organizations that are jumping on this. But trust me, the men will crack too. Especially when they see the reaction women have to #loveweek. Also, I guarantee that 99% of the companies that do this will make it an annual tradition. It’s that addictive. And it will spread virally. By 2015, we expect 1000+ companies on board. By 2016, 10,000. And by 2020 – this will likely be a normal part of corporate tradition in most game-changing companies in the Fortune 500.
