THE COST OF STRESS

Companies like Apple, Google, Procter & Gamble, HBO, McKinsey & Co have been investing in corporate Mindfulness and Meditation programs for years in order to decrease stress and improve employee mental health .
In the end of the day, employees are the most valuable company asset. Fostering a healthy and mindful company culture helps the employees be healthier, happier, more focused, and it increases their mental clarity, productivity and ability to handle stress. Happy employees means a more profitable business.

While there is no way to totally eliminate stress from the workplace, many employers are doing everything they can to improve their employee wellbeing. A growing number of employers are introducing meditation at their office in an attempt to facilitate stress management and increase their employee health, happiness and productivity.
