Case study

Creating Resilience at a Molecular Level

A busy creative agency wanted to help its leaders stay on top of their game in the face of a high-stress environment—e.g. over-scheduling, not enough sleep, and an ‘always-on’ communications cycle.

Intervention & Results

Wisdom Labs delivered a 12-week onsite Learning Lab. In collaboration with Dr. Steve Cole, the effectiveness of the mindfulness program was tracked with self-reported measures and an analysis of biomarkers. There was a statistically significant improvement in the downregulation of genes related to inflammation and an upregulation of genes related to immunity.

Wellbeing

A statistically significant improvement in flourishing as measured by the Mental Health Continuum Short Form.

Social Connectedness

Increased social connectedness as tracked by the UCLA Loneliness measure.

Awareness

An upward trend in ability to stay present as measured by the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire.

Case study

Help Employees Navigate Change

After initial breakout success, this hardware startup experienced a series of new product failures. In the wake of layoffs and losses, the learning and development team sought to re-engage and re-energize the workforce, building resilience in a cost-effective way.

The Intervention

Wisdom Labs led 2 different Learning Labs, one on Mindfulness and the other about Compassion, to teach the science behind stress and resilience—embedding practices that supported mindful leadership, better teaming, and employee engagement.

Mindfulness Lab

A 14% increase in mindfulness as measured by the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale; and an 12% increase in resilience as measured by the Bruce Smith scale measuring ability to bounce back.

Compassion Lab

A 19% increase in resilience as measured by the Bruce Smith scale measuring ability to bounce back. An 10% increase in the Compassionate Engagement and Action Scale (for Others).

Case study

Increase Employee Resilience and Wellbeing

Inspired by initial positive employee experiences, this technology company leader wanted to institutionalize wellness—through stress reduction and resilience building—as part of the organization’s culture and day-to-day operations.

The Intervention

Wisdom Labs engaged with the organization by offering an 8-week Learning Lab webinar series, supported by a learning app to help integrate new mindfulness and resilience practices into daily behavior.

The Result

Over the course of 8 weeks, participants reported a 17% increase in mindfulness as measured by the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale and an 18% increase in resilience as measured by the Bruce Smith scale measuring ability to bounce back. Both results were statistically significant.
