At work, no one wants to face a red card for their behaviour. The Be Kind/Don’t Be A Dick movement is here to champion positive conduct across all workspaces, whether you're at a venue, festival, concert, tour, workshop, store, university, or meeting room. Negative behaviour has no place in our professional environments, but kindness and respect are always welcome.

Our work frequently places us in the music industry, so it made perfect sense for us to be part of  a movement fostering positive change in how people interact in this space. However, our initiative is not limited to the music world; it extends to any workplace where you spend your time.

We believe that how we behave influences how others treat us, creating a ripple effect throughout our professional circles. The phrase “Don’t Be a Dick” resonates universally as a simple, relatable guide to recognizing and avoiding unacceptable behaviour. This behaviour can range from being ignored to experiencing bullying and belittlement—and everything in between.

On the flip side, “Be Kind” embodies the essence of positive behaviour. It’s a valuable reminder for all of us to maintain kindness and respect in our interactions. 

Our popular laminates serve as a visual nudge, encouraging individuals to reflect on their behaviour at work. These have evolved into tools for sparking conversations about unacceptable behaviour and recognizing acts of kindness, often with a touch of humour. 

To broaden our message’s reach, we are expanding our range of Don’t Be A Dick/Be Kind merchandise. Currently, we offer laminates! Stickers and more exciting items are on the way.
