Capitalize on Mindfulness
Have you heard about mindfulness? The term seems to be everywhere these days, but few accurately apply it to the workplace. Mindfulness comes from the world of psychology, although it is frequently associated with the Buddhist tradition. Mindfulness comprises four key elements: willingness to accept painful and often unwanted thoughts and feelings, letting them go while remaining in the present moment and listening to oneself. In other words, mindfulness means paying attention on purpose. In a world of constant emails, texts, meetings, new projects, shifting priorities, and so much more, mindfulness can be incredibly difficult to achieve at work.
The good news is that mindfulness is a well-researched tool. You can count on Indigo Path Collective to analyze your work environment, recommend changes, and even help you develop and implement the programs, systems, training, and communications to improve mindfulness where you work.
Improve Emotional Intelligence and Understanding
Understanding your emotions and the emotions of those around you can be a game-changer when it comes to working together as a team to deliver exceptional results to your customers or clients. Emotions are what we think makes us uniquely human (although Bugsy the Therapy Dog adamantly disagrees). But, the challenge with emotional intelligence is that we were uniquely taught emotions by our parents or other significant adults when we were very young. The problem is that those teachers might not have correctly named our feelings or experiences. At Indigo Path Collective, we help our clients accurately identify emotions and understand the importance of emotions in the workplace. Rather than over-reliance on spreadsheets and data, we can help your organization balance data with the rich and beneficial information from human emotion to do the things that data and artificial intelligence cannot—transform.
Learn Effective Communication skills
Everyone in your company has the ability to communicate, yet being an effective communicator is hard. At Indigo Path Collective, we can help you improve communication skills by developing programs, systems, and training that enable effective communication between people and throughout your entire business.
…and please do not believe the person who tells you that body language is the most important element of communication. That myth was busted decades ago. The reality is that words matter.
ReThink Your Corporate Pantry
The science is in, and it is very clear. Food and mood go together like hand and glove. If you are only feeding your employees carbohydrates, the likelihood of seeing the highs and lows of productivity, teamwork, absenteeism, and more is real. If you are ready to enable your employees to be their best, perhaps it is time to rethink your company pantry. Then, let’s go the extra step of teaching your team about the food-mood connection and how to use food to boost their performance at work, at home, and in the community.
Reduce Work-Related Stress
Work is stressful, so stress at work is an expected human experience. The trouble is that stress can lead to burnout, quiet quitting, absenteeism, health issues, relationship problems, and regrettable attrition, all of which negatively impact the bottom line. Yet, stress is manageable if you have the right programs, systems, training, and communications to help employees manage it, managers recognize it, and leaders account for it. With Indigo Path Collective by your side, we can help you identify the primary causes of stress in your workplace and offer suggestions on what to do about it. Stress is one of the most significant contributors to workers' compensation because it reduces one’s ability to pay attention on purpose and is scientifically associated with chronic disease. You can reduce work-related stress, and we can show you how.
Mental and Behavioral Health Awareness Training for Human Resources
Mental health issues are increasingly pointed to as the cause of distress for millions who enter the workplace daily. Human Resources teams are commonly tasked with improving wellness at work by CEOs more focused on healthy workplaces than ever before. However, many Human Resources teams are trained in disciplines other than mental health. This 1.5-hour online training provides Human Resources teams with psychoeducation, including an overview of mindfulness, workplace stress coping skills, emotions, and so much more.
