Workplace HRV biofeedback programs show significant benefits for employee stress levels, resilience, and even job performance. Brief daily sessions (5-10 minutes) over 6-8 weeks produce measurable improvements.
Methods

Key Findings
- Reduced perceived stress and anxiety after 6 weeks
- Improved HRV metrics (RMSSD, coherence)
- Enhanced emotional resilience and coping
- Some studies showed improved work performance
- Brief sessions (5-10 min daily) sufficient for benefits
Limitations
Self-selection bias, varied workplace environments
What This Means for You
If workplace stress is affecting your HRV, consider incorporating brief HRV biofeedback sessions into your routine. Even 5-10 minutes daily can improve both autonomic function and stress resilience.
