How does Corporate Yoga help?
STRESS at work is posing a great threat to the health of the employees and, in turn, to the organizations. Several studies have shown that if the working conditions are stressful, there is an increase in absenteeism, tardiness, and employee’s intention to quit their jobs – all of which harm the bottom line.
Recent studies show that policies benefitting employee health also benefit the bottom line.
Here, corporate yoga plays a vital role in reducing stress, minimizing illness, injury, disability in the workforce and thereby making the organization competitive in the marketplace.
