Why Kaiel TX
The Need
We all know that we face a lot of demands inside and outside the workplace. Work is only getting more competitive. When employees feel overwhelmed, it’s not just the brain that responds; the whole body reacts. Physiologically, stress hormones flood our system to wreak havoc on the body and the brain. When we can’t handle stress, we become more anxious, less productive and more prone to illness.
A 2012 Gallup poll revealed that 40% of US workers “were so stressed out they felt burnt out.” A five year study found that the mental health of 20% of the top performers is affected by corporate burnout.
The Solution
Increasingly in the last five to ten years, companies have adopted innovative programming to treat symptoms of burnout. Companies with well and supported employees have lower rates of attrition, burnout, absenteeism. Increasingly, we are seeing that wellness programming has strong effects in the following areas:
• Increasing Employee Productivity
• Building Resiliency and Decrease Anxiety
• Improving Focus and Concentration
• Boosting Emotional Intelligence and Contentment
• Reducing Healthcare Cost
• Improving Communication Skills
We also know that bringing individuals together and engaging them with play and intellectual activities can create more cohesive teams, leading to greater cooperation, trust and stronger lines of communication.
Custom designed comprehensive corporate wellness programs have proven to be beneficial and cost effective to the employer as well as the employee in the long run.

She has taught employees at Tiffany & Co., JP Morgan Chase, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Penguin Random House.
