Why is it important to create mindfulness at work?
Corporate Wellness is about increasing self empowerment and self esteem of the individual at work. Both are directly linked to increasing productivity and profits.
Many years of progressive research has indicated that high levels of organisational performance and success is primarily based on four key factors, these being:
Balance
Connection
Performance
Purpose
Balance is about developing the Confidence, Mental Agility and Physical Health of an individual. In regards to Connection, a workplace leader needs to create an environment that supports Collaborative Relationships, Empathy and Effective Communications as these for vital for developing the self esteem of an individual.
At the end of the day, workplace leaders want Performance, and the best way of doing this is by creating opportunities for Achievement, Growth and Adaptability for their people.
Organisations have a duty of care to create both a physically safe and psychologically safe working environment. Managers should have the same responsibility to individuals within their team.
That is undertaking Corporate Wellness Surveys and Programs such as The Balance Programs are so popular.
The glue that holds it together is Purpose. It is vital to have Aligned Values of the individual and organisation, Goal Clarity and Work-Life Balance, in order to achieve high levels of performance and success while maintaining a motivational and pleasant environment.
