Bring Mindfulness to Work
Don't waste your most valuable resources.
Everyday time, money, and productivity are wasted due to overwhelmed, unfocused and tired teams.
Research shows that mental training such as effective mindfulness training develops attention keeping people on task with less effort. It also enhances creativity by reducing fear of judgment and self-conscious thinking while increasing our curiosity, open-mindedness and relaxed concentration (or flow states).
The ROI (return on investment) for businesses and leaders is clear - investment in mindfulness based wellness programs produces better productivity, perceived sense of wellbeing, team cohesion and retention. (reference)
