Reducing stress in the workplace means your employees will be happier and feel more positive about your organisation.

Workplace pressures cause a range of physical and emotional illnesses (including depression). Stress suppresses the immune system so that it takes longer to recover from non-stress-related illnesses. This results in loss of work hours.

• Reduced workers compensation claims

Stress-related claims account for almost 30% of all Work Insurance claims and are about twice as expensive as other claims

• Reduced staff turnover

Employees who aren’t coping with stress at work are more likely to leave.

• Employees with better mental focus

Research shows that mindfulness meditation increases mental abilities; especially the ability to focus.

• Better inter-staff relations

When people are stressed at work, tempers flare and relationships can sour, leading to less co-operative, less cohesive teams, which decreases productivity.

• Better customer service

Staff who isn’t stressed will be more pleasant to your clients and provide better customer service.

• Higher productivity

All of the factors mentioned above will increase productivity and improve your bottom line.
