Employee Wellness

Mind • Body • Spirit

MINDMindfulnessMindfulness is the practice of being aware of what is happening in the present moment, without judgment. At St. Joe’s, we are supporting employee mental health, wellness and engagement through a culture of Mindfulness at work. Our 2014 research study showed that a Mindfulness practice demonstrates lower levels of stress and anxiety, improved perspectives and interpersonal skills.
