How can Mindfulness benefit you?
'People are the heart and soul of every business'Happy, motivated people create immense value for the companies they work for. People are much more successful and fulfilled in the workplace if they can manage their stress, remain objective, be responsive rather than reactive, show compassion to themselves and others as well as build trust with their colleagues and other stakeholders. Mindfulness training has been clinically proven to help people build these resources.
As well as individuals, many employers are now becoming aware of the benefits of supporting the development of their employees through training in Mindfulness as part of their CSR and CPD programmes.
The American Institute of Stress has calculated that $300bn of economic output is lost in the US each year through absenteeism, poor performance, employee turnover, accidents and stress-related workers compensation claims. This phenomenon is not restricted to the US. Indeed, the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that self-reported work-related stress, depression or anxiety accounted for an estimated 11.4m lost working days in Britain in fiscal year 2008/9.
Cutting edge companies, who have already successfully adopted the Mindfulness model include McKinsey, Deutsche Bank, Procter & Gamble, Apple, Astra Zeneca, Google and Yahoo - their performance is in many ways a testimony to the success of their approach to employee wellbeing.
Training in Mindfulness supports the workplace, bringing about a more productive, creative and peaceful yet competitive environment for success.
Mindfulness at Work has developed an effective 4-week, 45 minute programme to improve the wellbeing of employees.
