Team Mindfulness

Why should your team practice collective mindfulness?

Collective mindfulness can reduce friction, improve relationships among your employees, and foster a more positive and productive company culture. Just as individuals practicing mindfulness can reap a myriad of benefits, an organization can thrive by implementing mindfulness as a group.

What is Collective Mindfulness?

Collective mindfulness is non-judgmental awareness of a group’s purpose, dynamics, and tasks. When a team is aware as a group, they work as a cohesive unit to meet goals in a healthy manner. Organizations that collectively practice mindfulness understand how dynamics between team members affect both morale and productivity.

Objective Behind the Program:

Evidence suggests that mindfulness helps to reduce stress and anxiety, improves emotional resilience, focus and leadership flexibility. Having conducted courses in mindfulness in various companies like Wipro, Sella India Software Services Pvt LTD, Theon Pharma, Indorama, RS Group and for leaders for many years, we advocate its implementation in many situations.
