How does the MBC help to reduce unnecessary stress?

Stress impacts our health, it costs lives, and it makes us and our businesses less productive. Much of our stress is caused by the way we work and interact with each other; the unconscious, unnecessary and often unnoticed impact we have.

What if we could be more aware of our impact — and had the permission and courage to speak up?

The four pillars of the Mindful Business Charter

The Mindful Business Charter is a practical framework that encourages us to be more thoughtful about the impact we have on each other. It allows us to talk openly and honestly with others, by providing a common language built on four pillars.

Openness & Respect

Create and facilitate safe, open cultures to build trust.

Smart Meetings & Communications

Think about what you are saying, when, and to whom.

Respecting Rest Periods

Give consideration to the need for you and others to switch off.

Mindful Delegation

Collaborate, instruct and delegate with care.

Small changes makes a big difference
