With the first few Monk@Work programs itself, interest in mindfulness within our organization is growing rapidly. With tailor-made content, participants claimed to have improved concentration, stress reduction, effective communication, make wiser decisions, create more value and find calm amid our frenetic working routine. Employees have reported of tangible and lasting benefits. The Leadership Development Academy is very happy to continue this association and take Mindfulness to the next level within L&T. 

 Through discussions with the business leader and others, Monk@Work seeded the idea of a daily mindfulness practice in business.I know of at least a few people who practice regularly even a year after the 1st experience and have reported remarkable benefits. We had a similar experience where Monk@Work did an early morning session with our entire HR team from India and Brazil. Through the years, Monk@Work has not just worked out great workshops but also planned initiatives around bringing org transformation through mindfulness initiatives. 

 Monk@Work sessions for our employees have been truly invigorating and have given the employees an opportunity to dive within themselves and reflect on how to manage and change their lives. These sessions have not only impacted the individual’s personal space, but also have brought in significant changes in how they approach their work. 

 Monk@Work’s ability to use mindfulness processes to address organisational challenges is unparallel. Depth in subject and knack of appreciating the organisational issues makes them special in this domain. Their approach is very scientific and systematic. All the techniques and methods are extraordinarily effective, practical and implementable. The most striking aspect is their promise and power to harness the individual potentials for the overall organisational performance at the business level. 

 Monk@Work’s workshop was the right combination of knowledge and practice. It was a great way to understand self and enhance productivity. This helped to understand mindfulness in the right way and uncover various myths. 

 Monk@Work’s two-day program for HR leaders was quite enriching at both personal and organizational level. It helped me gain the personal experience of mindfulness and realization that it is an invaluable practice. After just a couple of sessions practices, I noticed a real difference - learning how to take control through awareness techniques, overcoming unnecessary anguish and turning my perception of self and the world. Besides, it has also helped us initiate mindfulness-based initiatives within the organization.  

 While we keep hearing about Mindfulness generally, Monk@Work program really helped in demystifying mindfulness and enabled our team to comprehensively understand its value and benefits. With a series of engaging activities, we got a practical understanding of how to incorporate it into our daily life. The program was thought-provoking and fun in equal measures. The follow-up session helped us resolve the issues in adopting Mindfulness and to clarify how best to fit-in the techniques to our daily work.  

 Monk@work beautifully introduced the concept of mindfulness to the SJ Contracts team. We went through a two-day program of understanding and learning methods of practicing mindfulness. The workshop also provided us with tools to ensure a sustained practice even after we were done. And I was pleasantly surprised to notice that a lot of participants have adopted and continued the practice either on an individual level and even with their teams. The benefits that await us in the near future and long term are certainly obvious.  

  I worked with Monk@Work team to bring Mindfulness at Royal Canin. It was a fantastic collaboration spread over 8 sessions which helped embed the key principles as habits. The team was always open to customize the program elements to maximize effectiveness. They also demonstrated Mindfulness in every interaction with utmost authenticity. Mindfulness is emerging as an essential skill, and this team can be excellent partner in this journey for any organisation.
