<p>The Mind/Body Medical Institute at Harvard University have recently proclaimed that two essential factors for successful business are meditation and innovation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Meditation enhances the qualities companies need most from their knowledge workers: increased brain-wave activity, enhanced intuition, better concentration, and the alleviation of the kinds of aches and pains that plague employees most&#8221;</p>
<p>A wide range of major companies &#8211; including Google and Deutsche Bank &#8211; have offered meditation classes to their workers.</p>
<p>There are now many well documented studies of the far reaching benefits of meditation &#8211; including:</p>
<p>* Improved concentration<br />
* Increased sense of wellbeing<br />
* Better interpersonal skills<br />
* Greater empathy<br />
* Improve job performance<br />
* Enhance creativity<br />
* A calmer and more positive disposition<br />
* Feeling refreshed and focused<br />
* Help to transform the strain of high management positions<br />
* Confident leadership and enlightened developmental strategies</p>
<p>These benefits will not only help you but improve the positive productivity of your business.</p>

<p>As was stated in The Times on June 9th 2009</p>
<p>&#8220;Many people with mental ill health still manage to get to work . They may be constantly worried and preoccupied with the problems and issues but they do not take time off.<br />
Psychologists describe this as presenteeism and the reduced productivity of below-par employees who turn up for work costs employees an estimated 15.1 billion a year or, £605 per employee in the workforce. When this is added to sickness absence and staff turnover, the annual cost of mental health problems to employers is £1035 billion and it becomes obvious that it would pay organizations to foster their workers mental well-being.&#8221;</p>
