Southampton, NY (PRWEB) July 14, 2010
Mental Workout, which ignited the self-mentorship revolution on the mobile platform and which also offers web-based programs that inspire and empower people to live better lives, and Stephan Bodian, the bestselling author of Meditation For Dummies®, today announced the release of ‘
Freedom from Stress’, a comprehensive, user-friendly program developed to enable businesses to reduce stress among their employees.
Everyone is undoubtedly familiar with how much stress American workers experience by now, especially in these uncertain economic times:
- “80% of workers feel stress on the job, half of them say they need help in managing stress.” - Gallup’s “Attitudes In The American Workplace VI” poll
- “Workplace stress costs more than $300 billion a year in health care, missed work, and stress-management programs.” - American Institute of Stress
- “70% of all illness, both physical and mental, is linked to stress.” - U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services
’
Freedom from Stress’ is a web-based program that offers five effective, scientifically proven strategies for eliminating stress and enhancing overall well-being. Users can apply the strategies in sequence, each building on the next, or they can begin where they feel inclined and stick with the strategies that work best for them to build their own personalized stress-management program. The program can be used at the employees’ convenience and can be accessed anonymously.
The program includes a video introduction to stress, a personal stress evaluation with progress tracker to measure improvements, a stress journal to identify personal stress triggers, tips for dealing with stressful situations, suggestions for lifestyle changes, and a total of 18 guided exercises and meditations that can be downloaded to a mobile device, computer, or CD for optimum accessibility.
“Many employers underestimate how much their employees suffer from the effects of stress,” says Mickey Beyer-Clausen, Founder and CEO of
Mental Workout. “There is a strong economic case for minimizing work-related stress. Absenteeism, lost productivity, and employee turnover are just a few of the many areas where stress has a significant financial impact on businesses. For this reason, our best-in-class stress-management program has broad appeal.”
The author and narrator of the program, Stephan Bodian, is an internationally celebrated author and meditation teacher and a licensed psychotherapist with expertise in stress management and positive psychology.
“I see this as a wonderful opportunity to help people reduce their stress and discover greater peace of mind,” Stephan Bodian said. “In fact, this has been my primary motivation for the last 30 years. By teaming up with Mental Workout, we can offer a state-of-the-art program that is accessible, easy to implement, and gives the employee complete privacy at the same time.”
