September engagement strategy is focusing on Well-being at Work. Employees often feel so burdened by their tasks that they can lose sight of the need to protect their mental health. Taking breaks, developing strategies for good workplace communication, and learning how best to tackle one’s to-do list are all good safeguards against burnout.

With so much to accomplish at work, it’s no surprise that we often feel the urge to push past our limits to get the job done. But taking breaks is a crucial part of being your best—and a vital step to avoid overwhelm. Calm’s ‘For Work Collection’ offers mindfulness resources to help you feel more rejuvenated throughout your workday. 

  • Moments that Matter – In this exclusive eight-part series, Chibs Okereke shares actionable strategies for handling tough moments at work with ease–from delivering difficult feedback to navigating team changes. 
  • Settle Down by Single-Tasking – In this 6-minute session with Jay Shetty, you’ll do a guided breathwork exercise and learn how to use the single-tasking concept to be more focused and efficient throughout the workday. 
  • Silk: Music for Focus – This is a three-part soundtrack created in partnership with DJ Bklava, who has intentionally designed this music series to help you focus on different situations so you can stay mindfully productive at work. 
  • People Pleasing – In this 6-minute session with Jay Shetty, you’ll learn how to notice your impulse to please people so you can mindfully return to your authentic self and respond to situations that genuinely align with you.

Take a quick break today to try one of these resources in the Calm app, and learn how to more proactively manage your well-being.

August engagement strategy is focusing on Changes and Opportunities. Global events, workplace transitions, personal life shifts: Each of these forms of change can be disorienting, even frightening. Navigating changes can be daunting for anyone, but doing so also offers a chance to build resilience. Share the Calm resources in the communication templates below to support your organization in transforming big changes into opportunities to grow.

Into every life, times of change must come—but just because change is inevitable doesn’t mean it’s easy to deal with. You may be facing change or uncertainty right now, wondering how you’ll make it through and what life might look like on the other side. But times of transition can help you build resilience if you have the right tools to support your journey. That’s why Calm offers resources to help you handle whatever comes your way. 

  • Dealing with Change and Uncertainty – In this 3-minute session, Dr. Vivek Murthy will guide you through a breathwork exercise to calm your anxiety levels and allow your body to feel safe to relax. 
  • Waves of Change – In this 10-minute session with Tamara Levitt, you’ll do a body scan meditation and learn to let go of your desire to control uncertainties so that you can ride life’s waves more gracefully and easily.
  • What Stays the Same – In this 7-minute session with Jay Shetty, you’ll learn how to shift your mindset from being afraid of changes in your professional and personal life to fully embracing them.
  • Reverse the Current – In this 9-minute session with Jeff Warren, you’ll do a guided meditation that helps you let go of your desire to control everything and be at ease with whatever you’re facing.

Try one of these resources in the Calm app—it might just help you build resilience for the next change that comes down the path.
