TakeTen is a new system that can help people improve concentration, develop positive workplace behaviours, enhance their communication and thinking skills and deal with stress – both in the workplace and when seeking work.
TakeTen is a UK-based software system that has been developed specifically to help people to enhance their emotional health and well-being. It uses a combination of biofeedback and proven techniques to train people to control the way their bodies deal with stress. The system has been applied in the education and workplace contexts as an ongoing training tool to reduce illness and absenteeism, and improve performance and morale. It is now being explored as a tool to help jobseekers looking for work and preparing for interviews, most recently as part of a pilot study project in partnership with Manchester Cathedral’s Volunteer Programme.
A U.S. study has shown that the technology behind TakeTen can improve emotional, social and academic learning.
