Mindfulness and Stress Resilience: The Best Benefit for Your Employees and Yo...Human Capital Media
A recent Willis Towers Watson survey revealed that 75% of U.S. employers say stress is their number one workplace health concern. Stress is taking a massive toll on both your employee wellness and overall business performance. It’s no wonder that corporate mindfulness is a hot topic in leading companies.
This webinar will give you insight into:
What mindfulness is and how it helps employees reduce stress, while improving performance.
The neuroscience behind training employees for resilience and mental wellbeing.
Why 1/3 of Fortune 500 companies name mental well-being and stress reduction as their #1 priority.
The financial, operational and cultural benefits that digital, on-demand mindfulness training can have in your company.
How to Use Positive Messages to Inspire + Motivate Employees WebinarTotalWellness
TotalWellness Webinar 1/8/2015
What motivates you to exercise or eat healthy? Are you the kind of person who needs a drill sergeant barking insults to motivate you to move? Does encouragement and reassurance motivate you to say no to that piece of chocolate cake? Research shows real power lies in positive messaging.
A small change in how you communicate can bring enormous returns. Focusing on the positive leads to a better workplace, more satisfied employees, and stronger results for your wellness efforts. Maya Angelou may have said it best when she wrote, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Changing the conversation between you and your employees is up to you.
We know that positivity can be tough to buy in to from a business perspective. That’s why we want to show you just how important positivity is for your company and your corporate wellness program.
Mindfulness in the workplace interprets straight into enhanced employee health, by lessening strain, improving flexibility, as well as promoting effectual relationship building amongst teams. If you are looking forward to gaining mindfulness, consider visiting the https://www.thewmhi.com/mindfulness-at-work/ for more.

A Mindful Way to Staying Mentally Healthy at UniversityBarry Tse
A deck prepared for an online talk given to the University of Liverpool students and staff in Feb 2022 Feel Good Month. The talk touched on common psychological issues identified in a recent study in the UK and explained some of the problems that plagued our modern lifestyle. Secular mindfulness is then introduced as a tool to regain control of our declining ability to focus and our stress response that has constantly been put on hyperdrive due to our evolution, neurological wiring, and psychological processes needed for our survival.

Mindfulness Among Healthcare Professionals
Currently, cases of disrespect, stress, prejudgment, reduced concentration at work, poor conflict resolution skills, reduced resilience, reduced engagement in physical activities, and reduced expression of creative arts, among others, have increased significantly among various professionals. These actions have derailed the reputation of various professionals. They have also compromised the professionals’ deliverables, thus leaving their clients unsatisfied. This study, therefore, is specific to healthcare professionals. Healthcare is a very vital service in the life of humans, such that the people providing it must always be keen and sober when on duty. This argumentative essay will aim to teach healthcare professionals on the importance of mindfulness and how such knowledge can improve the quality of the delivery of healthcare services.
Shea (2016) states that “The present defines the future. The future builds on the foundation of the past” (15). Mindfulness has a history chronologically describing how it came about. The practice of mindfulness practice was employed in various religious and philosophical teachings such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Yoga. More recently, the practice has expanded into non-religious meditation. Mindfulness was mainly popular in the religious and spiritual communities of the East. Its spread in the Western world can only be linked to particular people and secular institutions. It is important to note that some commentators argue that the history of mindfulness should not only be confined to Buddhism and Hinduism, as the practice also has origin in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity (Shea 20). Depending on people’s thoughts, many theories can be applied to explain the history of mindfulness, leading to conflicting conclusions.
The possible arguments of the theories can be traced to its origin in the field of medicine, Christianity, and Islam. Mindfulness might indeed have been much applied in the Christian, Islam, and the medicine set up. However, at the time of this research, there existed no material pieces of evidence to support that. The available materials show that mindfulness was popularly used in Buddhism and Hinduism. The modern western world later came to learn the practice of mindfulness from the traditions of Buddhists and Hindus. Therefore, this paper will focus on mindfulness from a Buddhist and Hindu perspective. In the succeeding paragraphs, we will get to know the different mental and emotional issues that healthcare professionals struggle with, the general definition of mindful practices, specific mindful practices that may help the healthcare professionals. The paper will address any opposing arguments and, finally, offer opportunities for future research.
From the resources employed to develop this paper, there is significant evidence that shows that the increase in anxiety disorders, sleep diso ...

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Editor's Notes
happy to be part of community.
let’s give Lee round of applause. tremendous amount of time.
Lee also has an edge. for anyone who grabs m&ms at the break or a soda at lunch, you will be tazzered.
Nice to see so many different players here. Great conversations. It was nice to see Samsung. Between Apple, Google, and Samsung. I learned leads the pack in their interesting is digital wellness. Samsung is is literally exploding in this space.
my topic is …
spike in consumers practicing mindfulness
spike in business interest: includes 22% of fortune 500. will double in 2017.
across the board self-insured companies: including Target, GE, Fidelity, MSFT, P&G, J&J, IBM, NIKE
I got into mindfulness out of stress, crisis and desperation.
there’s been so much incredible coverage on wearable and biometrics, I’m going to mix it up a bit before jumping into data.
mindfulness. underlying systems of stress. and light on data as the case has been made.
loved Lee’s Lego analogy. Each of us has pieces to build something special in this space.
Lego artist, Nathan Sawaya. powerful, forward looking. superman like.
(hands) get a sense of who’s in the room.
research. wearables. apps. Insurance, pharma, LARGE employers (okay, startups you know where they are now).
tremendous ecosystem with a common goal
one of the other things that has become clear is we all try to do too much.
At whil, we believe collaboration will win the day.
we create programs with best in class partners
we find best in class partners to create programs.
we focus on technology, marketing and sales of running a SaaS business.
in 2017, four research partners will be running their clinical trials using our tech platform.
We just completed partnerships with Virgin Pulse and Jiff. by eoy, our stress resiliency products will be in all of the top corporate wellness platforms.
we know we can’t do that on our own. mental wellbeing is one piece of the puzzle.
first, by show of hands:
(Hands) mindfulness. we don’t think people want to meditate.

but the bigger issue is the pace of modern living and what business expects from the individual.
but we have systems in business that are built to make it worse

SELF DRIVING CAR REPLACING YOUR UBER DRIVERS. SELF DRIVING TRUCKS WILL REPLACE YOUR UPS DRIVER.
ROBOTS WILL BE ASKING YOU, DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT.
DRONES WILL GO FROM DELIVERING YOUR PACKAGE TO DELIVERING YOUR PERSON.
5 YEARS AGO, THIS WAS GEORGE JETSON KINDA STUFF. NOW IT’S REAL. AND IT’S CHANGING THE CONVERSATION.
GLOBALIZATION: EVERY BUSINESS IN A RACE FOR SCALE
WE EXPECT EMPLOYEES TO LIVE OUR TAGLINES
ALWAYS ON, 24/7, BUSINESS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, anyway you like it
we used to joke that taglines were killing our employees.
ESPIONAGE: Justice Department. 2 Million jobs LOST AND HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS IN TECH to China.
As a government, they’ve turned espionage into a business. steal your technology, designs, products, and sell them back to you.
OUTSOURCED INNOVATION: OVER 7M PEOPLE WORKING IN TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH. NOT THE GENIUS BAR AT YOUR APPLE STORE. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH. THE RATE OF INNOVATION OUTSTRIPS OUR ABILITY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT.
BUT THE MUCH BIGGER DISRUPTION IS COMING FROM INTERNAL DISRUPTION
(HANDS)OFFSHORING, NEARSHORING, BACKSHORING. 90% of firms cite outsourcing as crucial to their growth strategies.
A Java programmer earns $60,000 a year in the U.S., but $5,000 a year in India.
In 2014, 60% of the GLOBAL IT sector had been outsourced. (43% in 2013).
WE TELL EMPLOYEES, YOUR VALUED. BUT THE COMPETING MESSAGE IS ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS.
(HANDS) coopetition
HOW MANY PEOPLE’S COMPANIES HAVE RELATIONSHIPS THEY DESCRIBE AS COOPETITION?
WE TELL OUR PARTNERS, WE NEED YOU. UNTIL WE DON’T. CAUSE I WANT TO BRING IT ALL IN-HOUSE.
DO YOUR employees IN COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER? ASK A MILLENNIAL.
PROCUREMENT AMAZING FORCE IN BUSINESS
WHEN A VENDOR HAS BEEN CUT 10%-20% A YEAR, YOU GO FROM TRUSTED PARTNERS TO CHEAP SUPPLIERS. AND THEY ACT DIFFERENTLY.
WE’VE TRAINED EMPLOYEES TO JUST DEAL WITH IT.
ALL OF THIS IS COMPOUNDED BY Turnover.
(SHOUT OUT) GUESS THE AVERAGE TURNOVER RATE IN THE U.S.? 46%
ALL OF THESE CREATE STRESS
CULTURE IS CONSISTENT, OBSERVABLE PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR.
CULTURE: SUCK IT UP
WE TALKED ABOUT A VUCA WORLD. VOLATILE, UNCERTAIN, COMPLEX, AMBIGUOUS.
THESE THINGS ARE UNCERTAIN THEY ARE CERTAIN. IT’S NOT A VUCA WORLD, IT’S A VCCA WORLD. AND I SPEND 20 YEARS CRAWLING THROUGH THE CACA.

Mak Notes:
Stats on offshoring/outsourcing:
Two estimates of the impact of offshoring on U.S. jobs were between 150,000 and 300,000 per year from 2004-2015. This represents 10-15% of U.S. job creation. (The Economist, 2013)
BusinessWeek's rough estimate shows offshoring may have created about $66 billion in ‘phantom GDP’ gains since 2003. That would lower real GDP today by about half of 1%, which is substantial but not huge. But put another way, $66 billion would wipe out as much as 40% of the gains in manufacturing output over the same period. (Bloomberg, 2007)
Phantom GDP = reported gains in GDP that don't correspond to any actual domestic production
*Couldn’t find turnover stats on procurement professionals turnover.
For every 1,000 jobs British Airways sends to India, the airline saves $23 million. (The Outsourcing Revolution Why It Makes Sense and How to Do It Right by Michael F. Corbett, 2004)
Procurement stats:
A significant gap exists between the financial manager’s estimate of project savings getting booked, 34%, and the 75% to 80% estimated by sourcing managers. (Aberdeen Group, 2005) - Meaning you think you’re saving more than you might actually be. Discrepancies.
Among retail buyers where turnover can be as high as 30%. (DeConinck & Bachmann, 2005)
Inefficient procurement processes cost North American companies up to $1.5 billion annually - wasting 32.3 million man hours per year. (Topline Strategy Group, 2014)
AND IT GETS MORE COMPLICATED.
FOUR GENERATIONS. GUESS WHAT. THEY HATE EACH OTHER
THESE PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF WORKING, DIFFERENT LANGUAGE, DIFFERENT CAREER GOALS.
ON ONE END YOU HAVE THE MILLENNIALS SAYING
AND ON THE OTHER END, “WALKING RETIRED”
BY THE WAY, THE THE SILENT GENERATION WAS NAMED THAT BECAUSE IF YOU COMPLAINED BACK IN THE DAY, SOME WOULD SAY SHUT UP.
WITHIN YOUR OWN FAMILY, YOU CAN’T GET 4 GENERATIONS TOGETHER FOR DINNER WITHOUT ALL HELL BREAKING LOOSE.
BUT WITH ORGANIZATIONS, WE EXPECT PEOPLE TO JUST FIGURE IT OUT.

Extreme stress increased 33% in two years. This is defined a level where it’s harmful and costly to people’s health and wellbeing. Moving from struggling to suffering.
IF THAT TREND CONTINUES, WE’LL BE APPROACHING ½ OF ALL EMPLOYEES MOVING FROM MERELY STRUGGLING TO SUFFERING.
Now you might think it’s driven by terrorism, politics, race relations, the economy, Justin bibber throwing eggs at people’s houses. That’s certainly part of it.
But according to our customers, the bigger part is the pace of business. The demands of productivity, offshoring, procurement, doing more with less, and globalization are burning people out. Now these are all table stakes. They aren’t going away.

we’re all moving in the direction of being able to assess, prescribe solutions and measure the outcomes.
mindfulness is not a cure all.
it does not come in a pill form.
Digital revolution in healthcare
Thousands of connected medical devices. Hundreds of things to measure about the human body and performance.
400M consumer devices by 2020
four main areas of devices where clinical research has been done or is being done with mindfulness:
consumer wearables like fitbits (resting HR)
medical wearables like insulin pumps
stationary devices like Cpap sleep machines
Devices imbedded in your body or under your skin like pacemakers, neurostimulators and birth control
Before bluetooth, all devices used to look at them to see you have a problem. now Bluetooth. so you have app to tell you there’s a problem. and a connection to your doctor to remind people you have a problem. so we have all of this data in search of solutions.
and the attention is turning more to training solutions to actually help with the problem.
Companies are looking to targeted their biggest healthcare cost drivers
Companies like validic are providing access via APIs
PERSONALIZED. PROACTIVE. PREVENTATIVE. PREDICTIVE.
Medical-device wearables tend to target one of the four most prevalent chronic illnesses: congestive heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (source)
Roughly 72 million wearable devices were shipped in 2015, a figure that will nearly double to 156 million by 2019. (source)
A total of 85% of physicians and 76% of patients believe “wearables” could help them better manage patient health and potentially improve long-term care. (source)
