Wellness Sessions For Mental Health Awareness Month

May 2024 is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Twello honors and celebrates Mental Health Awareness Month every May by drawing attention to mental health within the workplace and working with teams of all sizes to ensure mental health a top priority – all year long.

• Increased Profitability:
  Corporations discovered the ultimate power pose: investing in employee wellness programs like yoga and mindful movement. Not only does it improve the bottom line with a $2-$5 return for every $1 invested, but it also found an average 25% reduction healthcare costs. Namaste to a healthier bottom line and a workforce that bends but doesn’t break. (American Journal of Health Promotion)

   

   

• Decreased Stress-Related Illness:
  Stanford University School of Medicine’s research suggests that meditation can be a powerful antidote to stress-related symptoms, reducing them by a whopping 30%. And if you’re looking to enhance your focus and attention, multiple neuroimaging studies confirm that meditation can activate neural pathways in your brain responsible for these cognitive functions.
  
  
• Improved Mood, Inside And Outside Of The Office:
  But wait, there’s more! A separate study found that just 10 days of guided meditation can reduce irritability by 27%. And if you stick with it for three weeks, you can expect a 23% boost in compassion. In other words, the benefits of meditation and mindfulness in the workplace go beyond just stress relief, and may help you become a calmer, kinder, and more centered version of yourself.

This is the hardest step for many employers. Since there isn’t an agreed upon, gold standard for corporate wellness facilitators, it program it can be difficult to vett different providers.

Over the years we have identified these very important qualities and treat them as the bare minimum requirements for all of our facilitators. Here are some questions you may want to ask a potential corporate wellness provider:

• Does the facilitator have formal teacher training and experience in a corporate environment? 💼
• Is the facilitator both certified and independently insured? Can they provide a COI if requested? 🧘‍♀️
• Does the facilitator understand the nuances of a corporate environment and can they use accessible and inclusive language? 🏢
• Can the provider ensure a backup facilitator in the case that the primary facilitator is unable to lead a session? This is a common issue with individual consultants. Ideally, your vendor has multiple facilitators so your program is not dependent on a single individual or one-person company. 👥
• How does the facilitator keep the content engaging and fun? No one wants a snooze-fest. Especially one that costs $400! 😉
