Inner Team Harmony
Inclusion • Connection • Trust
"We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness."
- Thich Nhat Hanh
What is this program about?
In this program rather than taking a traditional, psychology-based approach to reduce unconscious bias, we focus on mindfulness and meditation to reduce feelings of difference and foster a sense of connection and trust. This builds on the work in this area that The Monk Dude has already done for 10,000+ YouTube content reviewers.
Why is it important?
- Unconscious bias undermines trust. It affects the morale and the overall experience of employees. They may feel alienated, undervalued or unappreciated. And because they are often not heard, the company loses much of the value of their ideas. When employees feel excluded, they become less productive and engaged which negatively affects staff retention rates.
- In a 2017 scaled US study, researchers found that compared with people at low-trust companies, people at high-trust companies reported: 74% less stress, 50% higher productivity, 106% more energy at work, 13% fewer sick days, 76% more engagement, 29% more satisfaction in their lives, 40% less burnout.
- Research shows how mindfulness and meditation can reduce unconscious bias.
