OVERVIEW 

Mental health crisis impact on the workplace

Experts have projected a mental health crisis is underway in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Employee well-being and productivity will be severely impacted. It's time to be proactive and respond with an abundance of care. Recently, Qualtrics published The Other COVID-19 Crisis: Mental Health surveying 2,000 employees and found:

• 67% of people report higher levels of stress since the outbreak of COVID-19.
  
• 42% of people report their overall mental health has declined.

The top two things respondents reported impacted their mental health decline were more anxiety (24.0%) and more stress (20.1%). 

What is Workplace Mindfulness? 

The modern workplace is not a physical location; it is the place, whether physical or online, that people come together to work. Mindfulness is a human ability to be present that is developed through various practices, primarily meditation.

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. (from Mindful.org)

Workplace mindfulness programs have proven to be cost effective measures to reduce anxiety & stress while boosting resilience and fostering mental well-being. The Center for Disease Control's Mental Health and Coping During COVID-19 page lists one of the top methods to cope with stress as meditation. The National Institute for Health offers this resource on "What the Science Says About the Effectiveness of Meditation".  And the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) offers this resource on Workplace Mindfulness. 

What is the Workplace Mindfulness Summit?

For the first time, we are bringing together the top sessions from our online and in person events to create the most comprehensive resource available on growing workplace mindfulness programs - the Workplace Mindfulness Online Summit. 

Mindful Leader is uniquely positioned to do this. For over 7 years we have been leaders in this field, we've trained 120+ Certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitators, our online Mindfulness@ Work Summits have drawn tens of thousands of participants, thousands of attendees from all over the world have come to our in-person Mindful Leadership Summits, we provide live and online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training, we've published over 200 articles & white papers, and our industry leading newsletter goes out to over 89,000 people worldwide. 

We've also put what we've learned into practice. In 4 weeks as a service project in response to COVID-19 we created meditatetogether.com, offering free 24 hour, 5 days a week meditation sessions facilitated by over 100 volunteers worldwide. In less than a month, we scaled out an international program offering 120 sessions a week.

There is a growing mental health crisis and now it is more important than ever to overcome whatever hesitations you have, find the resources (it doesn't take much) to launch, grow, and expand your workplace mindfulness programs. Claim your free ticket to the summit and let us help show you how.
