We know there is a crisis of mental health across society and our workplaces. In work, much of that is caused by stress. Most workplace initiatives are geared towards helping people manage that stress, or supporting them through the problems that persistent stress can so easily cause to our mental and physical health.

How about we focus on removing the stress in the first place?  The Mindful Business Charter is a cross business initiative which provides a framework and common language for thinking about how we can identify and then remove the unnecessary sources of stress so that we can work both more healthily and more effectively – because aside from making us ill, stress also makes us less motivated and less productive.

The online session will run for 45 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for questions for those who would like to find out more.
