Introducing meditation to the workplace has been shown to yield significant benefits for both organisations and employees.
Meditation classes can diminish stress, create a calm mind, and improve focus, which is why many leading organisations have enthusiastically welcomed corporate meditation classes and mindfulness training. Some of these organisations have included Apple, Google, Nike, Proctor & Gamble, HBO, McKinsey & Co, Deutsche Bank and Yahoo! to name just a few.
Your organization will profit from corporate meditation
meditation is an extremely effective way of diminishing stress. Its benefits include:
Improved staff morale
Reducing stress in the workplace results in your employees experiencing higher levels of satisfaction in their work, which leads to them feeling more positive about your business.
Decreased levels of absenteeism
Workplace stress can cause a number of physical and emotional disorders, including diminished immune systems, depression and anxiety. All of these result in higher levels of sick leave.
Fewer workers’ compensation claims
Stress related claims contribute to almost 30% of all WorkCover claims, and have been estimated as being twice as expensive as other claims.
Higher staff retention levels
Employees without effective mechanisms to deal with stress in the workplace are statistically more likely to resign.
Staff who have improved mental focus
Research has proven that mindfulness meditation improves cognitive abilities, particularly the ability to focus.
Healthier work relationships
When people are stressed at work, tempers can explode or fester, and relationships can be damaged. The result of this can be less harmonious, less unified teams, which reduces their efficiency.
Improved customer service
Staff who are calm, focused and who find their work satisfying will be more agreeable to your clients, and deliver better customer service.
Greater productivity
All of the points above will contribute to an increase in productivity and profitability for your organisation. And the fact that many people tend to think with less clarity when they’re stressed will result in your staff making much better, more informed and thoughtful choices once you have implemented effective stress management strategies like meditation and mindfulness training.
Short and long term benefits
In the short term, meditation has the benefit of diminishing stress and focusing the mind. Practiced regularly over time these benefits grow and build, so that regular meditators are less affected by stress than those who don’t meditate. Even if someone hasn’t meditated recently, research shows their resilience is still at a higher level than if they had never meditated.
