The future of work relies on a mentally healthy workforce

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is designed to support executives and teams in their corporate and personal lives thereby improving their productivity, workplace engagement, and overall well-being.

Mental health is a top priority in the new world of work.   

A new world of work has emerged in the wake of the pandemic. Different generations are adjusting to the virtual/hybrid workplace as the new normal. Stress, burnout, loneliness, and anxiousness have skyrocketed, and mental health is now at the top of every employer’s priority list. 

Employers, also faced with rising healthcare costs, economic uncertainty, and labor shortages, must find new ways to reduce costs while still driving employee well-being, productivity, and retention.

Regular mindful meditation among executive teams, offices and departments also has lasting benefits, including building stronger bonds between employees, increasing productivity and increasing prosocial behavior.

  • Stress decreased by 13.31%

  • Joy improved by 23.61%

How Employers Can Incorporate Meditation into the Workplace

Incorporating meditation into your organization is simpler than you might think and delivers impactful benefits even with just a few minutes each day. Here’s how to get started.

  • Begin with 1–3 minutes of meditation daily. Encourage employees to try it individually and offer reminders to practice together as a team.

  • Add a 90-second meditation to the beginning or end of meetings. This can set a positive tone for discussions, help employees reset, and reduce stress after long workdays.

  • Align your meditation sessions with aspirational qualities like stress management, focus, or collaboration. Purposeful practices are more meaningful and impactful.

  • Try approachable methods, such as guided mindfulness meditations like Jon Kabat-Zinn's three-minute MBSR or a mantra practice. Repeating a calming word like "peace" while breathing deeply helps train the mind and promotes lasting positivity.

  • While the benefits of meditation can be felt immediately, consistency is key. Encourage employees to commit to as little as five minutes of daily practice to build a sustainable habit.

  • Partner with David to provide structured, professional guidance for your employees. Expert-led MBSR sessions and resources can deepen the impact of mindfulness practices, making them an integral part of your workplace culture.
