Why Mindfulness?

Currently stress is the most common cause for long-term sickness absence in the UK, with 1 in 5 employees reporting that they feel ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ stressed at work; and the cost of stress-related absenteeism to UK Business currently at £35 billion every year.

One of the key components of stress is being overrun by thoughts, thoughts of the past or of the future, rather than paying attention to your immediate experience. In increasing body of research has documented how mindfulness builds the capacity to disengage from unhelpful thoughts and place attention where you choose.

This can not only improve you own and your team’s performance, it can reduce stress as well.

At Lines of Sight we offer tailored solutions that can help you, improve delivery, reduce stress and embed mindfulness in your organisation.
