Transcendental Meditation and Business
Many companies around the world are turning to Transcendental Meditation to improve the calibre of executives and staff. Employees who are more creative, more intelligent, healthier and more energetic naturally contribute more to a company. Productivity increases, absenteeism decreases and teamwork improves.
Transcendental Meditation has become part of the stress-management arsenal for hundreds of companies throughout the world. The effects of stress in the workplace can be devastating - both physically and financially - for both employees and the company. Studies have shown that TM is more than twice as effective at reducing stress than any other form of relaxation.
