Cultivate a culture to encourage employee mindfulness
Cultivating employee mindfulness is a no-brainer. It improves 
performance at work, increases collaboration, and promotes productivity. In and out of work, mindfulness techniques reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
According to Compare Camp, meditation increases employee productivity by 120%. A workplace culture that fosters mindfulness reduces burnout, increases engagement, decreases sick days, and improves relationships. Employers can demonstrate that they prioritize employees’ physical and mental health by offering employees opportunities to practice mindfulness, like time for physical activity.
The benefits of cultivating employee mindfulness are clear, but what about the cost of stress?
Treating mental anguish and depression in the U.S. costs over $80 billion a year—and that’s just for people with insurance. If you’re not sure how much stress is costing your organization, consider these factors:
- Workers who feel overwhelmed are more likely to take sick days or quit their jobs.
- Workers who lack self-awareness are less likely to succeed and contribute at work.
- Workplaces that support mental health have higher productivity and lower turnover rates.
