Tuesday, December 3, 9-10am is the virtual class Mindfulness Basics in The Workplace | Tips & Tricks, class #95345. 

A recent study took a look at how mindfulness interventions improved productivity in the workplace. The results showed absenteeism fell by 85%, productivity rose by 120% and injuries dropped by 70%. The best part of this fact is that it is extremely simple to incorporate mindfulness in the workplace, and it's not just about meditation. Participants will gain a better understanding of the impact of chronic stress, the rationale and value of mindfulness at work, and how to immediately implement at least five simple mindfulness practices for improved well-being, engagement and productivity.
