A Powerful Combination Encouraging Behavioral Change
Positive behavioral change occurs when combining mindfulness with harassment and discrimination prevention training. By providing a safe and engaging space for learning and self-reflection, REAL Vision VR Training + Wellness positively impact employee satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being.

“Mindfulness counteracts the impulse to mistreat target individuals based on gender and race, as [it] enables the conscious detection of the ill impulse and promotes self-regulation of behaviors.” 10
The Health Impact of Workplace Harassment and Discrimination
There is a proven link between workplace sexual harassment and discrimination and mental well-being: experiencing inequity can increase the risk of developing depression and anxiety.

“Racism takes a huge toll on health and well-being, with documented physical, behavioral, and emotional effects.” 11
“Exposure to workplace discrimination has been found to harm mental health from diminished psychological well-being, increased risk of psychological distress, and pronounced depressive symptoms.” 12

“Harassment is associated with debilitating job dissatisfaction and work withdrawal. This largely takes form as disengagement from work, which is manifested as distraction, neglecting a project, malingering, tardiness, or even excessive absenteeism.” 13
