The corporate world is investing more and more each year on wellness in the workplace, and this includes increasing amounts on meditation and Yoga classes. In the USA, 22% of companies already offer meditation training at work, according to a study by the National Business Group on Health (NBGH) and Fidelity Investments. Another 21 percent plan to add such training in 2017. Companies such as Nike, Google, and Apple already offer meditation and Yoga classes. Yoga in offered in the workplace can include chair Yoga classes, lunch time classes, 1-1 classes. These are partly Wellness-based incentives to employers. Employees want to show that they are committed to promoting health and well-being. Talent is hard to find and hold onto and so companies are needing to show they are committed to individual well-being. And it seems they are beginning to understand the tremendous role Yoga can play not only in the mission to offer greater support of employee well-being, but also in adding something very positive to corporate culture. Adding Yoga and meditation to the workplace environment, can help to forge deeper and more positive social connections and communication between employees.
