National Studies:
“80% of people feel stress on the job, and nearly 40%
say they need help in managing stress.” – Gallup Poll
workplace. Many companies now recognize the value
of yoga and are offering free classes to their employees
as part of their stress reduction and corporate wellness
programs during the workday.
A study released last year by the American Institute for
Preventive Medicine found 62 percent of all companies
– ranging from small to medium and large -offer some
type of wellness program, most including yoga and/or
meditation.
According to Yoga Journal, such companies include
Chase Manhattan Bank, Forbes, HBO, GE, Wall Street
brokerage firms, and dozens of Fortune 500’s like
Nike, Apple, Harpo, Motorola, Google, Forbes, and
General Motors.
The benefits that yoga offers employees can translate
into valuable assets for businesses; namely, higher
employee morale, increased productivity, and fewer
sick days and disability claims.
Yoga can be a positive influence on ones ability to
concentrate, gain confidence, and reduce stress. All
these things lead to more a more productive,
harmonious work environment. But that’s not the only
benefit to companies. Providing yoga for employees
can significantly cut operating costs.
Recent research indicates that companies who offer
yoga and wellness programs to their employees reduce
their annual health insurance premiums, and thereby
improve their bottom line. According to a recent study
on worksite health programs, corporations realized $3
– $6 in savings for every $1 invested in wellness
programs. The same study showed more than a 25%
average reduction in health-care costs for well-designed
programs (American Journal of Health Promotion).
