S5E17: How Mindfulness Strategies, Diversity and Inclusion Build Better Workplaces with Leigh Mitchell

REVUP Your Business with Hilda Gan

Creating a positive and inclusive work environment goes a long way toward business and organizational success. Companies that implement mindfulness strategies and DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging) create environments where individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best work. This not only enhances employee well-being, retention, and productivity, but is also a strategic advantage in today’s competitive business environment
