why workplace wellbeing matters?

Have you ever wondered what is the cost of poor well-being of your employees?

%

of job turnover is due to stress

When your employees’ well-being is optimal, your organization directly benefits – they take fewer sick days, deliver higher performance, and have lower rates of burnout and turnover.

Employee wellness programs, which may include yoga and mindfulness, have a demonstrable impact on physical and mental health costs employees incur. It was proven that as much as 67% of employees who work for organizations offering wellness programs like their jobs more are just as likely to recommend the company to others. What’s even more interesting, they are nearly twice as unlikely to consider changing jobs.

Engaged and thriving employees produce far better outcomes for your organization.

What are the benefits of introducing yoga and mindfulness to the agenda of your employees? 

Increased resilience and burnout prevention.

It has been proven that increasing the use of yoga and mindfulness-based interventions provided support in achieving stable psycho-physical well-being of American healthcare workers.

It improves concentration and focus, and therefore, it has a positive impact on productivity.

Our mind drifts off on average 47% of the time, according to an article published in Science in 2010. This means that we’re busy with other thoughts for almost half of our time, also at work.

 

Less absenteeism at work.

Researchers have found that 6-week yoga corporate programs consisting of stretching, breathing, and relaxation methods can significantly reduce sickness absence due to back pain and musculoskeletal conditions. Ten minutes or more a day of practice was associated with doubling the reduction in back pain.

Better team spirit.

Forty-five workplace mindfulness research studies have linked mindfulness to improved relationships at work, supporting collaboration, and improving employees’ resilience in the face of challenges. Mindfulness training has been shown to make practitioners more likely to respond compassionately to someone in need and enjoy more satisfying personal relationships.

What are the benefits for you as an employer? 

Employer brand that stands out.

According to Aflac Workforce Report, 67% of employees who work for organizations offering wellness programs like their jobs more are just as likely to recommend the company to others.

Higher profits.

Socially responsible companies that invest in the health and well-being of their workers show a superior return on assets, generate higher profits and command higher valuations.

Lower voluntary turnover rates.

Organizations with highly effective wellness programs report significantly lower voluntary attrition than those whose programs have low effectiveness (9% vs. 15%), according to study by Towers Watson and the National Business Group on Health.

Improved work commitment.

Research shows that employees who work for compassionate managers are 25% more engaged in their jobs, 20% more committed to the organization, and 11% less likely to burn out. Mindfulness practice enhances empathy and compassion.

    I cannot emphasize how transformative the experience was

    I recently had an incredible opportunity to participate in a mindfulness course with Ewa Litke offered at my workplace. I cannot emphasize enough how transformative the experience was for me! Ewa is a grounded and delicate person who leaves enough space for the attendees to experience the course in their own way.

    I can only recommend doing this training with Ewa; she is brilliant!

    Support during Challenging Times

    The yoga lunch sessions provided by Ewa, a truly wonderful instructor, came at the right moment for our organisation. Our team was deeply affected by the surrounding international conflicts that impacted our work. These sessions offered invaluable tools for finding balance, relieving stress, and calming our minds. They provided a much-needed pause, allowing us to catch our breath amidst the daily rush. Ewa’s guidance has been a beacon of peace and focus, and we are deeply grateful for her support during such a demanding time.

    How to manage their stress more effectively

    Mindfulness courses provided by Ewa Litke serve as a great source of support both for the personal and professional development of a team. They aim to provide employees with tools to manage their stress more effectively, lower their emotional reactivity, promote positive workplace relationships, and foster communication. Ewa made us realize that introducing minor adjustments into the daily routine is enough to significantly improve our well-being. We had an opportunity to practice the new skills in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, making the experience truly extraordinary.
