“Take care of your employees and they will take care of your business. It’s as simple as that. Healthy, engaged employees are your top competitive advantage.” Richard Branson
In addition to the humanitarian benefits, studies show that companies that focus on employee wellness see an increase in productivity and sales and a reduction in costs and turnover.
Mindfulness is an essential tool which enables people to be more effective at everything they do and more resilient to the stresses and demands they might experience in their lives, leading to more job and life satisfaction. In addition to encouraging people to be in the present moment in a non-judgemental way, mindfulness enhances concentration and focus. It also cultivates awareness of thoughts, emotions and sensations which help people break free of automatic, habitual reactions that are often unhelpful. This allows for the opportunity to respond in ways that are more skillful and focused on what truly matters. Coupled with self-compassion, this duo becomes a powerful resource for enhancing resilience and overall well-being.
With more and more demands and challenges within the workplace, mindfulness promotes employee self-care, clear and constructive communication and more collaborative workplace relationships. These and other benefits of mindfulness have the potential to positively impact productivity, creativity and effectiveness while reducing employee absenteeism and burnout.
