HeartMath Corporate Success
In case studies across UK, Europe And North America involving organisations such as Royal Dutch Shell (Oil), Motorola, and Hewlett-Packard to name a few, profound and sustainable shifts have occurred in workplace effectiveness and organisational health.
In an interview with the Sunday Times of London, Dr. Graham Bridgewood, Chief Health Adviser for Royal Dutch Shell, commented about the HeartMath IQM program. "The background physiology and the science underpinning this technique are absolutely sound, which is why we went ahead with pilot studies at Shell. I don't think the science is new, but getting it to work with individuals, and particularly with technical people, is."
Carol Mortimer, Director of Health Care with Hewlett-Packard in the UK told the Sunday Times that the IQM program and techniques made an amazing difference to team morale. Before the program, 46% said they often felt exhausted. After the training, this figure fell to 9%!
A California state agency pilot project involving 161 staff revealed that after the HeartMath training there was a 75% (from 12% - 3%) decrease in the number of people reporting feelings of depression often or most of the time. Before the program, 48% of the participants reported they feel energetic often or most of the time. After the HeartMath program that number jumped to 61%.
A study at Motorola also showed significant and beneficial shifts in the participants. Before the HeartMath program 25% of the study participants had high blood pressure levels. After only six months of using HeartMath techniques they all had normal blood-pressure levels, and no conventional medical interventions had been used.
