Mindfulness in the Workplace

Mindfulness based practices geared for the workplace are proven ways to help employees:

• Reduce stress, burnout and distractibility
• Increase focus,  productivity, creativity
• Improve interpersonal relations and teamwork
• Boost emotional intelligence

I have several decades of helping employees and employers through Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and have taught many stress management programs. I have been teaching Mindfulness-based classes for Yale New Haven Health System for ten years and have found it be very effective (25-40% reduction of perceived stress and 15-25% reduction of feelings of burnout).
