Mindfulness in the Workplace

“Change is inevitable. Suffering is an option” – Buddha

We all know that change is inevitable but we still can struggle with acceptance and letting go.

In our fast-paced 21st century lives, we benefit from developing resilience skills to surf the changes of life. Mindfulness training gives us practical skills to cope with our fast-paced work environment, perform well, stress less and work well in teams and all relationships for work-life balance. 

Mindfulness training for creativity develops our diverse problem-solving skills, perspective, open-minded curiosity for greater vitality and happiness.

Mindfulness is a way of training our brain to be smarter, is secular and evidence based in developing resilience, wellbeing, stress reduction and better mental health.

Mindfulness is at the forefront of brain training for optimal performance, reduction of stress and absenteeism, and increase in presenteeism, communication and leadership skills, creative thinking, relationship management, wellbeing and resilience. 

HR, Occupational Health and Leadership management are finding that mindfulness training & coaching is invaluable and has long-term benefits. Many large Multinational’s are enjoying the benefits of Mindfulness training.

With so much change going on in our frantic world, it makes sense to support staff in developing skills of resilience for adaptability.

Stress, anxiety and depression are the second most common causes for work related illness.

Research has been to reduce staff turnover by 25% and reduce staff absence too! Mindfulness based Stress Reduction is a clinically proven intervention in stress, anxiety and depression treatment. MBSR also promotes physical and emotional wellbeing and is recommended by NICE, NHS Mental Health Foundation and in the all-party research called Mindful Nation (Oct 15).
