Corporate Mindfulness Classes
Imagine a healthy, calm and vibrant workforce. Teaching mindfulness in your workplace might be something that sounds too different or unimportant. Others already know the wonderful benefits and have been implementing this type of practice for years. See this CBS video on Meditation at Work and watch Thich Nhat Hanh at Silicon Valley with Google.
Briefly, here are some of the benefits of what mindfulness can do for your business and employees:
- Increase ability to manage stress
- Increase creativity and leadership
- Heighten focus/attention therefore better productivity
- Improve ability to address conflict in the workplace
- Improve teamwork
- Increase stability during periods of change
- Decrease in judgements/stereotypes promoting better working relationships

And, read this… Studies suggest the average worker is interrupted once every 11 minutes; it takes on average about 25 minutes for that worker to get back on task. It’s just one of the everyday strains on the modern worker, and just one reason why some companies are incorporating meditation practices into the workplace, in a bid to preserve their employees’ productivity, never mind their mental health.
