Are you a B Corp business leader who is navigating the new Fair Work standards?
Be Grounded is a live, weekly, pre-work, online meditation offering
that helps you meet section 4 of these new standards.
Each session nurtures your team's wellbeing needs, as well as
generates anonymous measurements of what matters.
Your B Corp recertification requires you to measure and improve workplace culture.
Here is a simple way to start...
Fair Work standards are now mandatory for B Corp (re)certification.
There are a lot of details to work through. Be Grounded is a simple way to nurture your organisations culture and receive feedback on what matters most.
From 2026, Fair Work is one of seven mandatory impact topics every B Corp must meet at recertification. There is no offsetting between topics. B Corp is now measuring specifically the improvment of the lived experience for all of your employees.
Be Grounded speaks to two of the FW4 requires specifically:
- Measure workplace culture across at least two themes from: satisfaction, wellbeing, belonging, feeling & being engaged and psychological safety (FW4.1)
- Document a culture improvement plan, get leadership sign-off, share it with your team and update it every year (FW4.2)
Be Grounded is built to deliver both.

Be Live
A 2022 study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that live online mindfulness programmes reduce workplace stress significantly more than recorded-only formats. Be Grounded runs live every week, with recordings available as backup.

Every Wednesday at 8am, your team joins a 30-minute live guided meditation, accessible on line from anywhere. No additional equipment or prior experience needed.
Each session is led by Liz Barile-Page, a qualified yoga & meditation teacher, sound therapist and Heroic Coach with nearly 20 years of business development experience. At the close, an anonymous pulse poll captures how your people are feeling across the FW4 themes. Those responses build week by week into a longitudinal culture record, auditable and outcome-focused in the way the new V2 evidence standard requires.

Tested in a founding UK B Corp. Backed by peer-reviewed research.
Liz led guided meditations inside Pukka Herbs, Bristol born, organic herbal tea company and a founding UK B Corp, weaving seasonal awareness and business cycle knowledge into monthly international team meetings. That is the practice Be Grounded is built on.
The evidence is substantial. A meta-analysis of 56 randomised controlled trials found that workplace mindfulness reduces perceived stress and improves well being, engagement and job satisfaction, with effects sustained at three months. A separate synthesis of 91 peer-reviewed studies confirmed consistent reductions in stress and burnout across workplace settings.

Four steps. Every Wednesday.
Be Grounded | Weekly Workplace Meditation
A 30-minute Wednesday morning meditation for Bristol teams.
Built around B Corp Fair Work standard FW4. Free sessions June and July. Full programme from September 2026.
Step 1 — Join from anywhere
Log in from your desk, a quiet corner, or wherever Wednesday morning finds you. The session is live. If someone misses it, a recording is available for 48 hours.
Step 2 — 30 minutes of guided practice
Liz leads each session from a grounded, unhurried practice rooted in meditation and mindfulness practices and nature-based traditions. The session is accessible to people with no meditation experience and to those with an established practice.
Step 3 — Anonymous pulse
At the close, a short optional poll asks your team how they are feeling across the FW4.1 themes: wellbeing, belonging, feeling engaged and psychological safety. Participation is voluntary and anonymous by default.
Step 4 — Monthly culture data summary
Each month you receive a summary of your team's responses. This is your workplace culture measurement record. It shows outcomes, not just attendance. That is what the new B Corp evidence standard requires.
Additional Add On
Once a quarter, Be Grounded can come to you. Sessions at your Bristol office or a local green space. Get in touch to discuss.
This is for any Bristol business that takes its people seriously.
Be Grounded is open to individuals, small teams and mid-size organisations (Get in touch about bespoke options for large organisations). For an individual it is a Wednesday morning practice that anchors the week. For a people lead at a B Corp it is a practical, evidenced response to FW4 that your team will actually use.
For larger organisations needing deeper ROI reporting or integration with seasonal half-day experiences, bespoke packages are available.
20-year literature review
A structured review of two decades of mindfulness research in organisations confirmed benefits including stress reduction, enhanced job satisfaction, improved relationships and increased performance. Also found that team mindfulness strengthens the positive effects of workplace challenge and alleviates the depletion caused by hindrance stressors.

Keeping the Pukka Spirit Alive!
Liz Barile-Page is the founder of Inner Adventure Guide, a Bristol-based holistic wellbeing practice rooted in nature, evidence and nearly two decades of business development and event management experience.
For several years she was part of the International Business Development team at Pukka Herbs, Bristol’s organic herbal tea company and one of the first businesses in the UK to certify as a B Corp. Pukka offered mindfulness programmes to all its employees. It wove seasonal awareness into its culture and invested genuinely in the wellbeing of its people as a daily organisational practice. Working there gave Liz a clear sense of what it feels like to be employed by an organisation that truly acts on its stated values, and the kind of standard against which everything else gets measured.
When Lipton acquired Pukka and the Bristol operation was closed in a mass redundancy, that chapter ended. Liz was among the ninety people made redundant.
The redundancy pay she received went directly into completing the professional training she needed to carry the Pukka spirit forward: her Mountain Leader award, sound therapy qualification, and further project management certifications. Inner Adventure Guide exists because that culture deserves to live on, and because other Bristol businesses deserve support in building something that holds.
Be Grounded is the most direct expression of that founding conviction. It brings the kind of practice Pukka invested in for its people to the wider B Corp community, with the evidence, structure and measurement tools that the new Fair Work standards now require.
Liz is a qualified sound therapist (BAST), yoga teacher, Heroic Coach and Summer Mountain Leader. She is working toward B Corp certification herself.
Her work is rooted in John Muir’s observation that going out is a way of going in. Wednesday at 8am is where she invites you to join the Be Grounded Inner Adventure.
Frequently Asked Questions about our Corporate WEllness Offerings
Does Be Grounded count toward our FW4 requirements?
Be Grounded is designed to support your FW4 obligations directly. The weekly anonymous pulse generates longitudinal data across the FW4.1 themes your B Corp assessment requires. Running Be Grounded as a documented culture initiative supports FW4.2’s requirement for a leadership-approved improvement plan, updated annually and shared with your team. For decisions specific to your certification, check with your B Corp advisor.
What if someone misses a session?
Every session is recorded. Team members can watch back within 48 hours and complete the pulse poll in the same window.
Do we need any experience of meditation?
None. Each session is gentle and accessible. People who have never meditated sit alongside people who practise daily. Neither group is catered to at the expense of the other.
Can Be Grounded come to our office or a local park?
Yes. Quarterly in-person sessions at your Bristol location or at a local green space are available as an add-on. Get in touch.
What happens after the free June and July sessions?
The full programme launches on Wednesday 2 September 2026. Everyone who joins the free tasters will be invited to subscribe ahead of launch.
Our team is spread across locations. Does that work?
Be Grounded is built to be accessed from anywhere. The live format means people in different locations share the same session in real time, which supports the sense of collective practice that makes this different from a solo app.
"When companies act on what they learn, they build credibility and momentum."
