Mindfulness Training for Team Leaders

Whether you lead a small team, a division, or an empire, you most likely already know that some of your workforce is responsible for caring for a family member. This can affect the performance of the entire team as the employee struggles to juggle responsibilities at home and at work.

Harvard Business School’s The Caring Company report found that the crisis for American companies is going unnoticed by many corporations. Less than half in the study grasped the impact of caregiving on their workforce, while 3 of 4 employees surveyed reported caregiving responsibilities, and 80% admitted that caregiving affected productivity. Obviously that includes both the family caregivers as well as the entire team.

What can leadership do?

In today’s employment landscape we are focusing more and more on employee satisfaction, engagement and retention. It’s in the best interest of all leadership to foster a culture of mutual respect, compassion and community.

This course offers the tools of mindfulness and emotional intelligence to the leadership team to reduce stress, increase productivity and self-awareness in themselves and their teams.

Understanding the challenges faced by employee caregivers and taking a mindful approach to the challenges ahead can make a difference for the entire organization.
