Records Are Made To Be Broken

When I met Tyla at wellness roundtable hosted by Lovitt and Touche, she was planning the rollout of Carvana Fit’s employee well-being campaign, “Life Happens.” The campaign is part of an initiative that includes an important focus on mental, social and emotional health.

The first time I met Chuck Howard, Corporate Wellness Administrator at Grand Canyon University, he shared that GCU would soon be transitioning some internal processes and structures. Chuck recognized that change can be unsettling in an organization, and he wanted to be proactive about providing extra support. We reviewed some of the scientific evidence that supports the efficacy of mindfulness training to help individuals manage stress. Chuck believed the time was right to pi

Employee engagement at PayPal hit it out of the park yesterday. The Opportunity group sponsored #MindfulMonday, and 57(!) people showed up for a 10-minute mindfulness class over a 2-hour period.

Mindfulness Training Boosts Employee Engagement

"Mindfulness and the Importance of Digital Disengagement" is chock full of data and experience, and how mindfulness has helped enhance performance at companies like LinkedIn, SAP and Adobe.
