More companies are joining the ranks of Google, Facebook, Lululemon, and Nike by providing space and time for their staff to learn and practice mindfulness meditation. They’ve recognized the measurable positive benefits, such as enhancing performance, productivity, emotional resilience, and leadership acumen based on findings from rigorous scientific research.

Some of the benefits from practicing mindfulness and compassion in skill-based training programs are:

• Sharpened focus and better cognitive control

• Greater clarity, creativity, and divergent thinking

• Reduced stress (reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression)

• Increases in positive emotion like joy, compassion, and gratitude

• Resilience and greater emotional balance

Employees are keen to attend mindfulness training at work. Consider the 6+ months waitlist for Google’s mindfulness-based Search Inside Yourself program!

Given the high costs of sick days and mental health stress leave, and the substantial impacts of COVID we’re only beginning to see and understand, you want to do everything possible in your role to support your employees’ wellbeing.

Providing them with training in awareness and compassion practices is a significant offering both to demonstrate a culture of care and compassion while also facilitating skillful training that can lead to a stronger team that will only positively affect the bottom line.
