MINDFULNESS & WORKPLACE WELLNESS
Stress is one of most universal sources of workplace problems — yet many companies rarely understand how to clearly identify it or address it head-on. When stress is left unaddressed it festers and spreads, and ultimately begins to affect team and individual performance.
Workplace Stress Management for Wellness and Employee Engagement
A few important statistics about stress from the American Psychological Association, Stress in America Report:
• Stress costs organizations $300 Billion in lost productivity and medical costs every year (American Psychology Association, 2015).
• 43 percent of adults report that stress has caused them to lie awake at night in the past month.
• 42 percent of adults report that their stress level has increased, and 36 percent say their stress level has stayed the same over the past five years.
• 61 percent of adults say that managing stress is extremely or very important, but only 35 percent say they are doing an excellent or very good job at it.
• 44 percent of adults say they are not doing enough or are not sure whether they are doing enough to manage their stress, but 19 percent say they never engage in stress management activities.
Everyone knows that stress restricts productivity and innovation and bring down morale.

We will work with you to determine the Stress Quotient™ of individuals in the organization, how to address workplace disengagement and increase employee engagement, performance and productivity.
Stress at work can be defined as the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Stress at work can lead to poor health and reduced performance. A healthy work environment is one where the pressures on employees are relevant to their abilities and resources, to the amount of control they have over their work, and the support they receive.
In the stress online survey you respond to a series of questions that will identify the 7 most common types of stress and the root causes for individuals and/or the organization.
THE BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness has been steadily gaining popularity among business executives, managers and staff. Why are Google, Facebook and many other companies utilizing mindfulness training? The answer is, they have recognized the amazing benefits of mindfulness practices for their staff.
Mindfulness is a mental state of awareness that requires paying attention to the present moment with an open mind, curiosity and resilience.
