"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."
~ Woodrow Wilson

A few words about our programs |
Research is beginning to demonstrate that mindfulness programs can have a major impact on
employee health, wellbeing, engagement and productivity.
Sodexo’s Mindfulness At Work Report, which analyzed findings from studies conducted 2009-2013 among 48,000 employees, found that mindfulness programs resulted in nearly a 37% improvement in stress, 22% better sleep and nearly 47% higher productivity among participants (1). Results of analysis of Aetna's Mindfulness at Work program showed that Aetna saved $2000 per employee in healthcare costs and gained about $3000 per employee in productivity, per year. (2)
A mindfulness training program at work can provide many benefits, both for individual employees and the bottom line:
- Improved health and wellbeing, resulting in reduced absenteeism;
- Decreased stress and chronic illness, returning reduced healthcare costs;
- Increased focus and ability to pay attention, generating improved productivity and accuracy;
- Enhanced creativity and clarity, leading to improved decision-making and problem-solving;
- Improved emotional intelligence, resulting in improved communication, relationships and morale;
- Heightened job and life satisfaction, producing increased employee engagement and reduced turnover.
