Stress in the workplace has been proven to substantially reduce productivity, increase management pressure and severely restrict workers’ creativity and job satisfaction. Stress has also been proven to trigger 70% of doctor visits and 85% of serious illnesses.

Studies worldwide are consistent in showing just how effective mindfulness training is in reducing stress and stress-related illness. Investing in mindfulness training could be one of the most cost effective decisions you will make in your business.

Practicing mindfulness alleviates unhealthy habits and establishes and strengthens healthy ones. This is why mindfulness is the foundation training for improving all aspects of wellbeing in our personal lives and in the workplace.

Recent research in neuroscience and on mindfulness demonstrates conclusively mindfulness training leads to:

• Greater resilience, productivity and ability to cope under pressure
• Higher levels of job satisfaction and employee management
• Enhanced creativity and proactivity in the workplace
• Improved relationships and teamwork

• Lower levels of stress and illness related absenteeism

• Improved abilities to address conflict in the workplace

Many progressive organisations including Google, Apple and Harvard University are using mindfulness training. They are seeing benefits like a more focused workforce, better teamwork, reduced absenteeism, more creativity and innovation, increased efficiency and less stressed individuals. Importantly, it has been a huge factor in significantly improving the bottom line.
