Tai Chi for Business

In today's business world, employees are bombarded with information from dozens of sources every day: Memos, email, telephone calls, voicemail, faxes, personal contact, and many more.

A Tai Chi/Qigong Seminar would relieve stress and help your employees focus on their task and become more productive.

One of corporate America's highest unnecessary production costs is in lost productivity due to employee stress. U.S. businesses lose $300 billion per year due to stress (that's over $7,500 per employee per year), which may be why the Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration (OSHA) has declared stress a workplace hazard.

Tai Chi can reduce very common forms of workplace health risks by providing Carpal Tunnel prevention movements and easing chronic pain and lower back problems. Furthermore, Tai Chi is the most effective balance conditioning exercise in the world, meaning it can reduce workplace accidents.

Improve employee morale:
In today's workplace employee morale is at an all-time low. Workers deal with downsizing, benefit cuts, and an unstable work environment. Employers that are dedicated to retaining the talent in their companies must provide employees with reasons to want to stay.

Improve relationships within your company:
Lastly and perhaps most importantly is that Tai Chi can reduce office politics. Most companies are painfully aware that the machinations of office politics are a severe drain on productivity. Since office political maneuverings are often rooted in fear and control issues, the more relaxed and at ease we are with ourselves, the more at ease we will be with coworkers and the less we will read our fear into office relationships.

In a group class all employees, supervisors, and co-workers from all levels come together in a stress free environment. This will help to break down some of the barriers between workers and supervisors to improve communication, allowing them to work together and accomplish their tasks more efficiently.

Get employees to WANT to come to work:
In addition to all of the great benefits of Tai Chi/Qigong training, this is something they will look forward to. Employees will want to come to work! Not only will workers call in sick less frequently, but they will feel better, have increased self-discipline, and become more productive.

Many major companies use Tai Chi as a highly effective workplace wellness tool, and no wonder, when you consider the following: It requires no equipment or no special clothing. (It can be done in normal business attire.) It provides a cardiovascular workout, a stress cleansing, a regenerating freshness, and a euphoric endorphin release all WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT in a gentle 20-minute exercise anyone can do!
