Microsoft partners with Headspace, a meditation and mindfulness app

Elaborating on the move, Kamal Janardhan, General Manager, Microsoft Workplace Intelligence says “The future of work has completely shifted, and the direction and signal from all of our customers from the industry, from the market, and from all of the employees out there is that hybrid work and remote work is here to stay. And while people love the flexibility, they need some of the cognitive structures or the variation that they got from commuting or going to work that are completely lost.”

The decision is primarily based on promoting good mental health and clear ‘headspace’ for the people who have chosen to work from home indefinitely. Headspace helps the users level their stress and deal with the sometimes unavoidable burnout from working online.
