Description:
This introduction to the Search-Inside-Yourself (SIY) Employee Well-Being Program takes a science-based approach to develop useful mental habits for achieving deep and long lasting well-being. Designed and tested at Google, the program helps participants integrate the three key building blocks for well-being: mindfulness-based emotional intelligence, mental and emotional resilience, and engagement. The program’s goal is to help participants thrive – enjoying greater productivity, effectiveness, and happiness – in all aspects of their work and outside of work.
Program Design:Â Everyone has the capacity to develop and increase well-being because well-being is a skill, and like all skills is trainable. The highly interactive program includes the following core components: (1) Overview of the neuroscience of emotion, perception, and behavior change; (2) Attention training to enable greater emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, self-mastery, and connection with self and others; (3) Emotional intelligence principles and practices for developing healthy mental habits that accelerate well-being with an emphasis on self-awareness and self-regulation; and (4) Mindfulness and reflection practices that support happiness, thriving and overall well-being.
Benefits:Â Participants who complete the 1-day (8-hour) SIY Employee Well-Being Program will learn foundational skills for achieving:
- Increased self-awareness and self-regulation competencies
- Greater alignment of personal values with actions
- More engagement and productivity at work (and beyond)
- Greater resilience, including enhanced abilities for managing adversity and disruptive change
- Tools for sustaining peak performance and motivation
- More happiness and thriving – overall wellbeing!
