Stress is the #1 complaint from employees. 

  • Stress can cause physical and emotional breakdowns, directly impacting the work environment.   
  • As stress mounts, productivity and creativity suffer. 
  • Inability to mitigate stress often leads to employee turnover.

Proven mindfulness stress reduction techniques address these issues, and improve overall employee satisfaction.

A mindfulness culture leads to an improved ability to manage stress, better focus, and increased resiliency and vigor. Research also confirmed decreased sick days, improve overall health  and wellness,  and increased compassion towards fellow employees, all of which improves productivity.

Large corporations like Google, Facebook, Aetna and even the US Marine Corps use mindfulness to improve workplace functioning. But businesses of any size can benefit from learning these skills.
