performance and productivity

Many companies, both large and small, have been working hard to implement in-office programs that help employees to deal with stress, anxiety and workplace pressures. The most common practice in the workplace is Mindfulness Meditation, which is a practice that helps focus the mind in the present moment with an attitude of non-judgmental awareness of thoughts and feelings. This has a flow-on effect on all decisions made throughout the day from how to perform tasks to how to spend free time.

So how exactly does Mindfulness Meditation affect the working brain and workplace performance?

1. Improved Focus. 

When we take time during the workday to stop working and focus on the present, it helps to create a stronger control of the mind’s function and productivity.  This helps to strengthen your ability to focus on one task at a time instead of being scattered and distracted. Training the mind to focus helps with productivity as it increases attention span while helping to reduce stress and anxiety in the brain.

2. Better Decision Making & Problem-Solving Skills.

A regular meditation practice helps to open new neural pathways in the brain. With increased focus, problem-solving skills get more creative and new ideas enter the mind more freely. It also helps with making decisions as the mind is clearer and not so cluttered by overwhelm or distractions.

3. Reduced Workplace Conflicts.

Meditation benefits have also been proven to help resolve workplace conflicts. Mindfulness practices equip employees with better conflict management and interpersonal skills that make resolving issues easier for employees and managers alike. By improving emotional intelligence and promoting the importance of listening to co-workers and peers, a mindfulness meditation practice can decrease the number of conflicts that arise in the workplace.

 4. Improved Happiness In The Workplace.

One of the greatest benefits of a workplace meditation program is the enhanced overall happiness of employees. A regular meditation practice helps to improve overall happiness, compassion, self-awareness, and patience. Many corporations are today experiencing increased sales performance, proving that what’s good for the mind and spirit is good for the company’s bottom line.
