Measures for Workplace Well-being

Companies are becoming proactive in taking action for employee well-being

Successful methods for improving the mental well-being of the employees:-

Mindfulness – Increased mindfulness among employees has been found to lessen stress while boosting focus and self-assurance, according to Google and Intel.

(Yoga and Meditation are popular practices for enhancing mindfulness. Employee creativity increases when 7–8 minutes are set aside for mindfulness.)

2. Brain Training – Brain training, also referred to as cognitive training, is similar to brain exercise. It enhances the brain’s neuroplasticity, improving one’s capacity for problem-solving.

(Brain training increases cognitive skills like logic, reasoning, and concentration lowers stress levels, boosts self-confidence, and lengthens attention span.)

This is used to provide solutions, for example, if a day break is okay or if you need professional help i.e. a psychotherapist.

Individual mental health data would be safely secured with the company’s mental health professionals.

We suggest customized Meditation and anxiety-reducing techniques that help employees regain focus and improve their quality of life.

With data, we can find the work culture in each team, which can help management take necessary actions and maintain a high happiness and retention score for employees.

Due to varying responsibilities and external factors, some teams may be more stressed than others. If a team’s performance is disturbed by excess stress, we craft customized strategies to resolve it.

Case Study – A One-day Workshop

One-day workshop collecting brain data from a small team of ten trifurcating into –

the relaxation bar,
the stress score,
the focus score.

The data was collated and poured into a graph based on Yerkes-Dodson law mapping out five zones.

Based on the relaxation score & focus score, we extracted the exact zone individuals were in, indicative of their current performance and forming the basis of data-based decisions to improve upon it.

Our results gave insights on average relaxation and focus scores, which were seen to go up for all individuals by consistently practicing the recommendations. Team members also reported in a survey that they were happier and calmer, even more, open to taking on challenges, and came to offices with a proactive attitude!
