zenmeditatie trainingen in organisaties voor beter balans, focus, emotionele welzijn en stress management
English

The challenge:

Achieving long-term success

Employees face high demands both at work and in their personal lives, trying to keep all aspects in balance. However, this balance is increasingly lost: overload, absenteeism, and burnout are growing issues. Both employees and organizations strive for long-term success and need each other to make it happen.

Our solution:

Learning to meditate

Recent scientific studies show that meditation offers a wide range of benefits, from stress reduction and improved cognitive functions to better emotional regulation and team dynamics. It helps employees find balance, manage stress, and sharpen their focus. These benefits lead to increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and a positive work culture.

Our vision

At incompany zen, we believe that the long-term success of an organization is inextricably linked to the well-being of its employees. Through our meditation workshops, we focus on improving the physical, mental, and emotional health of employees. This results in less stress, greater focus, and a culture of continuous learning.

Why is meditation worth learning?

Scientifically proven effects of meditation:

1. Reduced stress and improved well-being

Meditation effectively reduces stress and anxiety. It enables employees to better manage deadlines, high workloads, and daily challenges. Additionally, their overall well-being and sleep quality improves. [Bartlett et al., 2019]

2. Improved focus and concentration

Meditation enhances employees' attention and concentration, allowing them to stay focused on their tasks for longer periods and become less easily distracted by external stimuli. [Basso et al. 2019]

3. Improved emotional regulation and reduces conflicts

Meditation helps employees regulate their emotions more effectively, leading to greater self-control and improved communication. This reduces conflicts and enhances teamwork.

[Allen et al. 2012]


4. Better decision-making and resilience under pressure

Meditation enhances the ability to make well-considered decisions under pressure. Employees with a calm and focused mind respond better to stressful situations and show greater resilience.

[Tang et al. 2015]

5. Higher creativity and problem-solving skills

Open-monitoring meditation, a technique used in zen meditation, stimulates divergent thinking. This is a crucial skill for creative problem-solving, as it helps generate multiple solutions to a problem. [Colzato et al. 2012]

6. Increased well-being and job satisfaction

Meditation boosts employees' sense of well-being and job satisfaction. By supporting meditation training, employers can create a healthier, more productive workplace. This leads to a more positive attitude towards work, higher engagement, and reduced employee turnover. Shapiro et al. 2007], [Rep et al. 2013]
