Yoga In Business - Working for Employers in the UK

Improve Employee Productivity

Your employees are likely to be stressed by the demands of the modern workplace, but you can help them to be more resilient.  In return your employees will naturally work more productively.  If you feel better you tend to have more energy for the job.  If you are aware of a deadline without becoming paralysed with dread you can work more efficiently and accurately.  If your employees are more often at work rather than absent through a stress-related problem - what does that do for team performance? There is no need to let employees find their own way to cope - as an employer you can help.  In fact it is almost a no-brainer.  Just think - spend a little on stress management and gain a lot in productivity, creativity and accuracy!

Improve Work Life Balance

When was the last time you thought 'I must do more work'?  When was the last time you thought 'I wish I could find more time to be with my family', or 'to improve my golf', or 'to play with my children'?  Being more productive whilst at work, being calmer, being less stressed and getting things into perspective makes it far easier to make the right decision. When is enough enough? and what is really important in life - being there for my son's birthday or finishing off the budget that I've been putting off? You can help your employees to improve their balance and end up being happier and more willing and ready to give their best at work.

Improve Employee Health

Having aches and pains is not a normal human condition.  Sitting at a desk, focusing on a screen and receiving stressful stimuli all tend to work against a healthy body.  Bodies are made to move, to be balanced and to have varied activities.  Lack of awareness of the body means we only listen when the body shouts.  But the body also influences the mind with lethargy and disquiet long before it shouts with muscle problems, joint problems, or serious stress related diseases. We all have a right to good health and you can help your employees to learn how to stay healthy whilst working.

Minimise Sick Absence

And the result of neglecting the body over periods of time is disease. The employee has sick leave. Simple aches and tensions when continued over a long period can cause all sorts of problems. Stress related diseases are the most common form of sick absence in Europe, and probably in most developed nations.  This is costing an estimated £13B ($20B) per year in Europe according to a study by the European Commission. You can help your employees to avoid this. You can do something about stress related disease.  As an employer, how can you not do something?

Improve Decision Making

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all decisions were made quickly and without worry? When employees can think clearly about the issue and do the right thing?  You can help your employees to do this, and the managers and executives too.

Improve Creativity

Creativity is our natural state, but we aren't often in our natural state. We have hundreds of things that we should do. We worry about what is going to happen tomorrow and what happened yesterday, and our creativity today suffers.  If our body is not supporting us with well-being and vitality our creativity suffers.  Have you ever worried a problem and found no answer only to solve it once you let go and relax? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had creativity on tap? Well you can!

Stress Management

Employees are stressed by any number of reasons like being promoted beyond their capability, not having the right skills, deadlines, lack of feedback, etc. Gaining resilience against these stress inducing factors is the first step to health, gaining perspective and doing something to correct the problems. Every body should have ways to manage their stress.  Many people use sport, caffeine, tobacco or alcohol to unwind themselves after being affected by stress.  Wouldn't it be better if we could manage the stress at source? (You can still enjoy your sport!) You can then work efficiently and avoid throwing the stress onto your body. You can help your employees to be more resilient against stress.

Improve Morale

Give your employees the tools to cope and excel and you will be rewarded by improved morale, team working, productivity and creativity. Yoga in business makes good business sense.

Being Positive in Downsizing & Redundancies

Whilst a good employer will give exiting staff the best help they can, it is also the staff remaining that not only need help to create enthusiasm and energy, but to retain them in the dace of gloom and despondency. All can benefit from the improved sense of perspective and improved resilience to the stressful situation.

Overview

Yoga In Business gives your staff the opportunity to experience calmness of mind in the work place.  By taking a little time out from the day to day stresses and pressures of the job, employees will be re-energised and be able to tackle their jobs with a fresh clarity and vitality.  Stretching the body and working with the breath engages the body's parasympathetic nervous system - allowing the body to normalise, gradually improving health and posture - defeating fatigue, increasing alertness and leading to improved productivity, feelings of well-being and less time off work due to sickness.

Yoga In Business can increase the effectiveness of meetings and presentations, improve morale and staff relations, and the clarity of thinking needed by managers and executives. By reducing stress levels, increasing productivity, improving energy levels and gaining a well balanced perspective, all levels of staff will tend to improve their work life balance that too easily shifts in favour of work, but with deleterious effects on the health, performance at work and family life.

Be warned - if you don't want to see your staff looking happy and healthy with increased job satisfaction - don't engage Yoga In Business!  However, if you an enlightened employer and are looking for a corporate solution for de-stressing your events, people and teams - make contact with Yoga In Business and create a great staff benefit and improve productivity!

Please note that Yoga In Business will not insist on any sort of philosophy or spirituality. Whilst yoga is, by definition, a spiritual practice (compatible with any or no religion), Yoga In Business will focus exclusively on body, breath and mind. There are opportunities outside the workplace that can satisfy anyone's interests or needs for a spiritual element - Yoga In Business instructors will be pleased to advise.
