Mindfulness at work
Reducing absenteeism undoubtedly saves money and increases operational efficiency. That is why more businesses nowadays, are choosing to take action. Research suggests that on average sickness absence costs employers £692 per employee every year with 7.4 working days lost per employee per year. This represents 3.3% of working time. Absence can be on account of behavioral issues, poor performance, long-term sickness absence or multiple short-term sickness absence. We know that psychological distress is a constant stress on the immune system, higher levels of inflammation and stress hormones increase. Immune function is altered for the worse. Therefore employers who are conscious of the importance of a cost-effective way of maintaining and improving the health of their employees, can now suggest to their occupational health partner to contact me and book group sessions where their employees will be taught techniques for relaxation and self-motivation.
Hospitals, colleges or schools may also wish to book group sessions to offer students support with exam revision whilst helping to overcome stress.
