VIRTUAL PROGRAM | Mindfulness in the Workplace

Description

Most employers today recognize the impact employee health and well-being has on the function and bottom line of the workplace. Simply put, when employees are not doing well, productivity suffers and organizational costs rise. The practices and principles of mindfulness can play an important role in helping individuals manage stress while also enhancing psychological well-being in the workplace. Additionally, empirical research suggests mindfulness may also be harnessed to positively impact not only individual health and well-being, but also improve cooperation and performance among individuals, teams and departments within the workplace.
