Mindfulness in the workplace
Research has shown that applying mindfulness at the work place increases calmness, empathy, productivity, efficiency and accuracy. Companies like Google, Apple & Facebook have ongoing mindfulness programmes for their workforce.
Many of the possible benefits of applying Mindfulness at the workplace include:
Conscious Leadership
Improving customer relations
Easing emotional flare-ups, anger, and enmity at work
Finding solutions to problems rather than focusing on blame
Improving teamwork and leadership through the empowerment of yourself to become more tolerant, compassionate, accepting of the things that you can’t control and being more in the present moment rather than in the past or future
Promoting physical and mental wellness
Creating a calmer and more conducive working environment
Lead to more productive and accurate work through a single-tasking focus
Enhance the ability to work through recognising what one can control and what one can’t control
Reduced reactivity, anger and frustration at the workplace
