Productivity-Boosting Meditation Pods

Open Vessel's Meditation Pods Offer Peace in the Workplace

— January 10, 2018 — Lifestyle
Work can be stressful and take a toll of anybody's mental health at times, so Open Vessel introduced its own meditation pods. After confronting a computer for hours on end, workers may enter the round pod for a relaxing experience. Aiming to calm the minds of employees and in turn, boost productivity and contentment, this meditation pod assists in reviving energies and increasing focus. Created to be a shape of a cocoon, it offers employees a safe space that literally shuts them out from the busy workplace that may surround them.

Within the meditation pods, there is a system that can play music, controlled by a tablet interface. The installed tablet includes the choices such as: "relax, energize, daydream, meditate in silence, or listen to music." Open Vessel has partnered with Spotify to provide the music played in the pods.

Additionally, the inside of the pods have round seats with a backrest around the perimeter and adjustable LED lighting.

2. Workplace Wellness Solutions - The introduction of meditation pods highlights a growing trend in offering wellness solutions to enhance employee well-being and performance.

2. Technology and Software - Tech companies can collaborate with meditation pod developers to create advanced systems that integrate music and ambient lighting for personalized meditation experiences.
3. Wellness and Mindfulness - The growing demand for workplace wellness initiatives opens up opportunities for companies in the wellness and mindfulness industries to provide meditation pods as a service or product.
