Minding What Matters: Incorporating Mindfulness Training At Work

Does your workplace have a meditation room yet? Do you provide break time for employees to engage in mindfulness training? If not, you may want to consider the benefits of mindfulness not only to your employees' health and well-being, but to your company's bottom line. 

According to a recent survey conducted by the National Business Group on Health and Fidelity Investments, 35 percent of employers offered mindfulness classes or training, and an additional 26 percent were considering adding programs in the future. Why are so many companies incorporating mindfulness into their workplace wellness programs? The benefits of mindfulness training are certainly worth giving some thought.
