What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness refers to awareness that is oriented towards the present moment, and applies an open and non-judgmental quality to experience, which allows us to relate to self-doubt, fear, and the pressure to be “all the things to all the people” with greater acceptance.  Contact us to learn more about how mindfulness can be trained.

The cost of "Presenteesism"

A recent study on over 2000 employees in 17 countries estimates that 57.5 days per year are lost due to presenteeism, when you show up at work in body but not in mind. The cost of absenteeism alone in Canada is approximately 17 billion/year. Presenteeism is said to be ten times the cost of absenteeism suggesting that the true cost of presenteeism may be a staggering 170 billion/year.

Stress is affecting performance & wellbeing

73% of North Americans regularly experience psychological symptoms of stress every day. Burnout, or mental and emotional exhaustion from work, is one of the leading causes of employee turnover.  With stress levels increasing year over year, equipping employees with stress management skills is a worthwhile investment for individual and organizational health.
