Presenteeism alone imposes a yearly cost of up to £29 billion on UK employers and now has more impact than physical absence on businesses’ bottom line (3).

As humans, we experience up to 60’000 thoughts per day. that is according to Dr. Fred Luskin at Stanford University (1). These thoughts vary from the mundane to the intrusive and the outright ‘negative’.
