Bespoke Training: Practising Mindfulness at Work

Manage Stress and Enhance Performance

Overview

This past year has been one of the most challenging for organisations. 41% of employees are experiencing mental health issues caused or worsened by work so that burnout risk is more severe than ever. But mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety through simple techniques.

Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment in an accepting self-compassionate way. It is a practice available to all to improve wellbeing and enhance creative thinking, focus, and leadership flexibility. All of which have direct consequences on work performance.

This Practising Mindfulness at Work In-House bespoke course provides your teams with the necessary tools and guidance needed to develop a realistic, sustainable set of techniques to embed mindfulness in their working habits.

All delegates will leave the day with a working model and an action plan to take back to your organisation to ensure good practice. Bring everyone’s best self at work and create a healthy working environment where they can thrive.
