I obtained the data regarding the companies from Beth Mulligan and Hugh O’Neil who gathered this data. Their website is mindful-way.com. They gathered this information 3-4 years ago, so an update is needed.
Best wishes for your research project! I’d love to see it when it’s done.

I enjoyed seeing this as I am building a presentation for Ashford University’s Wellness Week that will occur in September. I did a doctoral study on mindfulness intervention on high-stress occupations with my identified sample being classroom educators. I did a systematic review that evaluated literature that reported how mindfulness intervention helped teachers to cope with job-related stress. I then made recommendations toward a program that could be produced that would help employees of high-stress occupation, using best practices, to cope with stressors and avoid turnover. I also recommended a means for evaluating the effectiveness of identified interventions. My doctoral study is currently in press.
