BELLEVUE, Wash., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, at the Limeade Engage 2021 Conference, Limeade announced the addition of 60 dynamic activities designed to help employees improve their well-being – even in the hardest of times. The activities are supported by new findings from the Limeade Institute, which reveals mindsets like openness, mindfulness, resilience and purpose can have an unprecedented impact on overall well-being, engagement, stress levels and productivity.

"When it comes to improving well-being, it's your thoughts that count," said Laura Hamill, Chief Science Officer of the Limeade Institute. "Mindsets are something that all individuals have — and if we understand how to embrace them and really use them in our lives, they can generate energy and expand our capacity to improve our overall experiences and quality of life. The Limeade Well-Being solution enables organizations to show they care while giving employees tools and resources for personal improvement. These new well-being activities, rooted in the power of mindsets, take the solution to new heights."

"Helping our people improve their well-being takes more than just delivering a program – the content needs to be simple, engaging and science-backed," said Jamie Quinn, U.S. Benefits Expert at Bayer U.S. LLC.  "The new video courses from Limeade give employees consumer-grade experiences to strengthen their bodies and minds in a time when they need it most. We are excited to bring even more of this content into our program as we move forward together." 

Experience Activators Research

At Limeade Engage, the Limeade Institute revealed findings from a new study entitled "Experience Activators: Exploring the Power of Mindsets," which was recently accepted to the International Positive Psychology Association Conference. The study included more than 550,000 employees at large companies across industries, exploring key activators – or mindsets – and their impact on employees. Key mindsets studied were openness, optimism, resilience, gratitude, purpose, mindfulness, self-efficacy and emotional regulation.

According to the study, all of the mindsets are linked to higher well-being, reduced stress, greater employee engagement at work, and enhanced productivity. However, some mindsets are more likely than others to activate outcomes. The most powerful and predictive activators for each of these categories were, in order:

• Overall well-being: 1) Openness & Optimism, 2) Self-Efficacy, 3) Purpose
• Stress: 1) Emotional Regulation, 2) Resilience, 3) Self-Efficacy
• Employee Engagement: 1) Purpose, 2) Openness & Optimism, 3) Self-Efficacy
• Productivity: 1) Purpose, 2) Openness & Optimism, 3) Self-Efficacy

The Limeade Institute recommends delivering programs and activities that employees can utilize to identify and strengthen all mindsets. However, organizations should consider dialing up investment in improving mindsets, depending on desired people and business outcomes. Additionally, companies must ensure that culture and organizational support foster a positive and supportive work environment in addition to improving individual-level experience activators.
