The JOY Programme
Supporting the mental and emotional health and well-being of employees and those they support with mindfulness, compassion and joy.
What is The JOY Programme?
Low morale and challenging jobs can lead to an increase in employee absence or low employee retention.
To support you and your employees our experienced team at MindfulnessUK have developed The JOY Programme because there is Just One You.
This 'train-the-trainer' programme will teach a group of employees how to lead mindfulness in the workplace, improving the psycho-social working environment and health and well-being of your employees.

There is a growing need for Mindfulness and Compassion Well-being Advocates to be part of the fabric of an organisation, with advocates teaching from within an organisation to teams that they know and understand, rather than mindfulness and compassion teachers coming in to deliver these skills from outside your organisation
