Workplace

Bring mindfulness & wellness to work and give your employees an effective tool that can help them reduce stress, and grow their happiness, productivity and overall wellbeing.

The cost of stress can be very high. Absenteeism, turnover, direct medical expenses, diminished productivity, poor decision making, low morale — these are just some of the consequences of unchecked stress and emotional problems and all have a substantial effect on an organization’s bottom line.

The problem

According to a 2015 Gallup survey, among German workers:

  • 31% felt stressed yesterday
  • 24% felt tired or burned out yesterday
  • 22% reported that they have behaved poorly with their family or friends on three or more days in the past 30 days due to stress
  • 12% reported that they have had mental or emotional distress such as burnout, depression or anxiety disorders in the last 12 months

These results shows that more than 4.1 million German workers have experienced mental or emotional distress. Workers who answered “yes” to the question, “In the past 12 months, have you had mental illness such as burnout, depression or anxiety disorders?” missed 15.8 days of work per year due to illness, while workers who responded “no” missed 7.1 days, according to self-reported data. Many employees in Germany suffer from burnout, which costs German companies 9 billion euros annually in lost productivity

The solution

Innovative companies like Google, Target and GSK use mindfulness training to build stronger workplace teams and foster effective leadership.

What is mindfulness

Mindfulness is our capacity to be aware, right here, now. We all have this ability naturally. It is built into how your brain works. It helps you focus. It gives you the potential to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It helps you to develop more acceptance and kindness. Mindfulness is about practicing staying present and noticing what arises moment by moment.

 

Mindfulness training can help you learn to quiet your mind so you will be less distracted or upset by worries or ruminations. It can help you learn to accept your feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It can help you stay focused in the moment so that you can appreciate and enjoy the richness of your experience. When you learn and practice mindfulness skills your equanimity and mental control can improve significantly.
