What are organizations doing to ensure that both their employees and their leaders are prepared for the high mental demands of the future? One proven solution is to help them develop their resilience and stress tolerance through mindfulness.
Forrester and Headspace‘s in-depth survey of 477 business leaders about meditation and mindfulness at work yielded several important recommendations. Download your copy to read all the insights from the study, what those recommendations are, and how you can cultivate a mindful workforce.
Business leaders are feeling overwhelmed, but they are struggling to disconnect from their work. They rank sleep, meditation, and time off from work as most effective in helping them cope with stress, but their inability to stop thinking about work can compromise their quality of rest.

Studies have shown that meditation and mindfulness can help leaders strengthen intrapersonal skills such as self-awareness and self-regulation, but most respondents still associate meditation with stress relief.
