INTERNATIONAL LAW FIRM PROVES THAT MINDFULNESS REALLY WORKS

Having conducted mindfulness courses and seminars for not only law firms but firms of all shapes and kinds I am not surprised to read in the Australasian Lawyer today that one international law firm has actually demonstrated that mindfulness really makes a difference in the workplace. Not that I am surprised to hear that.

Listen to these results from a six-week program in mindfulness run by the major law firm Herbert Smith Freehills:

* a 12 per cent increase in employee focus

* a 10 per cent increase in employee performance

* a 10 per cent increase in employee efficiency

* a 17 per cent increase in employee work/life balance

* an 11 per cent increase in employee communication skills

* a 14 per cent decrease in employee multitasking (yes, out with multitasking).

Here’s the link to the article.
