ORGANISATIONS Committed to the wellbeing and performance of your staff? So are we. “Mindfulness is a ‘must-have’: a way to keep our brains healthy, to support self-regulation and effective decision-making, and to protect ourselves from toxic stress.” — Harvard Business Review, January 2015 Delve deep into mindfulness on our eight-week course or we’ll design a course delivery to suit you. With the pressures of constant connectivity and information overload, mindfulness practice has become increasingly recognised as an effective and powerful way to support staff and their wellbeing.On top of day-to-day work responsibilities and deadlines, we live with never-ending private thoughts that lean towards fear, worry and worst-case scenario thinking. No wonder we find ourselves living in a state of chronic stress. Stress negatively affects our productivity and focus, our cognitive and emotional response, our immune system and physical health, and our ability to work well with others.
