Meditation in the Workplace
Enhancing Productivity and the Bottom Line
Chances are if you’re reading this, you are not a stranger to workplace stress.
From small business owner to major company CEO, from warehouse worker to attorney – no matter what your role in a business organization, workplace stress is most likely part of your daily life. You or your employees may find it difficult to concentrate or find the necessary motivation to handle projects. You may feel trapped in your current situation or that burnout for you or others is just around the corner.
Do you know these facts?
- Workplace stress robs American businesses of approximately $300 billion per year.
- OSHA deems stress to be a work hazard.
- Stress-related issues account for 75% to 90% of doctor visits.

Symptoms of workplace stress include increased absenteeism, turnover, workplace accidents, short and long-term illnesses, and increased healthcare costs. Does that describe your place of work?

The solution: Put meditation to work for you.
Focused Mind Dynamics, LLC, a division of No Place Like Aum, LLC, provides a variety of integrative programs in stress management designed to meet the needs of legal, business and higher education clients. Because of its wide-ranging benefits, meditation is the cornerstone of the programs. Meditation is a cost-effective tool for every business to employ to enhance its productivity and bottom line while promoting employee overall well-being. It stimulates mental activity and simultaneously improves health and wellness, helps with cost reduction, and boosts productivity and performance, reduces absenteeism and turnover, and improves job satisfaction.
Meditation in the workplace goes way beyond relaxation and de-stressing. Meditation is a powerful strategy for businesses to improve operations. Meditation improves concentration, focus, and performance. Believe it or not, the goals of meditation and business are in sync – enhancing personal and professional productivity. Workplace stress, however, is a significant roadblock to achieving these goals.

Meditation can help employees attain personal, professional, and business goals. The regular practice of meditation – just minutes a day – significantly manages stress and delivers physical, mental, and emotional health benefits.
