The way we work doesn’t really seem to be working. In a healthy environment, people talk about what's working and what isn't. In a broken cultured company, they talk about who to blame for the problems instead. 83% of workers say they’re stressed about their jobs and nearly 50% say work-related stress is interfering with their sleep.
“We are reaching our limits. People working with big corporations can’t stand their jobs,” Tanaka wrote in a Huffington Post blog on Dec. 16. 2017 “People want out. They want to drop everything. Take a look how many people are willing to risk entrepreneurship, people leaving on sabbaticals, people with work-related depression, people experiencing burnout.”
We’re reaching a tipping point in the sense that this is no longer sustainable. What we’re trying to do is change the conditions of work that are creating the stress. While yoga and meditation are scientifically proven to reduce stress levels, these programs do little to target the root causes of burnout and disengagement in corporations.
People thrive in their jobs and become more fully engaged when they are given autonomy. And this exactly is our goal. To make you thrive!
