Mindfulness
Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, non judgmentally, in the present moment.
It is a training of the mind that is so transformational
it can be life changing.
Research conducted by companies including Google, Aetna and Intel has shown that increasing mindfulness in the workplace can decrease stress levels while improving focus, thoughtfulness, decision-making abilities and overall well-being.
Mindfulness gives employees permission and space to think — to be present — leading to mental agility, increased resilience and more self-awareness. Further to this, mindfulness in the workplace can reduce emotional exhaustion, increase creativity and support the development of compassion and empathy within an organisation.
Other benefits include:
- Reduced levels of stress and anxiety within the workplace
- Increased self-esteem and confidence
- Employees are better equipped to respond to difficult situations calmly without a knee jerk reaction
- Employees report better sleep, stronger relationships and overall improved health and mental well being
- Feeling able to cope with and manage their workload
Organisations participating in Mindfulness courses with direction have reported:
- A happier, more productive, engaged and motivated workforce
- Improved communication throughout a team, saving time on repetition and misunderstandings
- An increase in employee engagement and loyalty, resulting in a reduction in absenteeism
