Project "The silver lining"
Lives of lawyers and paralegal staff is highly demanding and ever changing. Lawyers, especially, have to face new challenges at work on day to day basis. They have to keep improving and honing their skills to progress through their career and become successful.
The ever increasing work demands and work stress is known to take a toll on every employees mental health. Moreover, the secondary lifestyle associated with the legal profession can affect them physically as well.
Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the ‘wellness’ became a key concern for us. We not only acknowledged but realizeed that to succeed as an organizations, we have to ensure that our teams are healthy and safe.
We encourage regular mindful meditation among our associates, project teams, offices and departments. Lasting benefits of mindfulness and meditation, including building stronger bonds between employees, increasing productivity and increasing prosocial behavior are slowly being recognised and promoted by the corporates in the modern world.
While still new in practice in western world, the benefits of mindfulness and meditation have long been studied and practiced in India. So, what are some of these proven benefits in the workplace?
- Meditation may reduce prejudice
- Meditation can improve cognition
- Meditation can directly counteract stress and burnout
- Group meditation can lead to better collaboration
- Meditation can boost memory
- Meditation can curb emotional reactions
One of the biggest misconceptions about meditation is that you have to really work at it over a long period of time before you can expect to feel benefits. This is mostly false. While consistency is important, if you are considering incorporating meditation into your own corporate culture, first begin meditating for 1-3 minutes once a day.
We encourage our employees to try this out on their own and schedule gentle reminders to do it together as a team once a day as a chance for a mental break.
The benefits that as little as five minutes a day of meditation deliver are stepping stones that contribute to positive employee mental health.
