7 BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS IN THE WORKPLACE

Have you ever considered practicing mindfulness at work if you're constantly swamped with deadlines, phone calls, meetings, and emails? Does concentrating for a brief time help? When that's your daily routine, it can negatively influence employee health, increase presenteeism and absenteeism, reduce productivity, and harm your corporate culture. It need not be that way, though. Health can be improved by practicing mindfulness at work.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness means being aware of your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and surroundings. It is simply being conscious of what is happening at the time, without trying to solve any problems. It aids in teaching your brain to concentrate rather than flitting from one issue to the next and back again.
