🌿 Building Resilience and Mindfulness at Work 🌿 Last week, our Generations@KB network hosted an inspiring talk by Dr. Nadja Schulz at our Munich headquarters. In her session, 'Calm and Empowered: Resilience and Mindfulness in Everyday Work', she shared practical strategies for dealing with the challenges of today's workplace, such as digital transformation, restructuring and personal stress, with greater composure and inner strength. 💪 She reminded us that resilience isn’t something we’re born with, but rather something we can actively develop. By practicing mindfulness, self-care and other positive habits, we can remain grounded even during turbulent times.🧘♂️ 💡A key takeaway: looking after ourselves is not a luxury, but a necessity. Whether through small daily rituals or professional support like Knorr-Bremse’s mental health initiatives and the EAP (Employee Assistance Program), we provide powerful tools to strengthen our employees’ well-being. The open and welcoming atmosphere made it easy to connect, reflect, and grow together. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Schulz and everyone who joined us! 🙏 Let’s keep the momentum going and continue spreading awareness about resilience and mindfulness! #Resilience #Mindfulness #EAP #MentalHealth #GenerationsAtKB #TeamKnorrBremse
