MINDFULNESS IN THE WORKPLACE
In your business what causes you the most stress?
The National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health in the US estimate that stress-related ailments cost companies about $200 billion a year in increased absenteeism, tardiness, and
the loss of talented workers.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK, echo these findings. In 2008/09 an estimated 415, 000 workers in Britain, believed that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill. The 2009 Psychosocial Working
Conditions (PWC) survey indicated that around 16.7% of all working individuals thought their job was very or extremely
stressful.
The annual incidence of work-related mental health problems in Britain in 2008 was approximately 5,126 new cases per year. However, this almost certainly underestimates the true
incidence of these conditions in the British workforce. Estimates indicate that self-reported work-related stress, depression or
anxiety accounted for an estimated 11.4 million lost working days in Britain in 2008/09.
What is Mindfulness?!Mindfulness is an attitude one takes towards life by accepting the way the present moment is. It allows us to explore our thoughts, feeling, senses, and emotions, noticing how we may judge them, whilst not reacting to those judgements. With this quality of attention, we can understand our stress, anxiety, pain better and feel more alive, responsive to the what life presents to us.!
