We believe that by understanding how our best resource works i.e., our brain, we can become more content with life while being more productive in work at the same time.
Mindfulness has been proven to improve team spirit, boost employee retention and increase sales focus. We use mindfulness in our Aspire program as it re-calibrates the brain and allows the formation of new more positive habits like a dedication to fitness or improving your self-esteem. Mindlab are experts in the field of neuroscience and we bring this expertise to bear in the creation of your wellness suite.

Looking after your employees’ brains is our No. 1 priority.
Our online programmes are specially designed to release dopamine in your employees’ brains. We have carefully built a reward structure into each programme to encourage completion and to activate dopamine release.
