Employee Manifestation, How Can It Benefit Your Company

A guide to helping employees visualise and achieve their goals while creating a more positive workplace

In today's fast-paced corporate environment, supporting employee well-being and personal development isn't just good for your team members—it's essential for maintaining a productive, engaged, and innovative workforce. It’s good for the bottom line!

This article explores how much employees aware and possibly facilitating manifestation techniques and goal visualisation can transform both individual employee satisfaction and whilst helping achieve company success. A win-win for both.

The Power of Purposeful Vision

Recent Australian workforce studies reveal compelling evidence for the impact of goal-setting and visualisation:

• The 2022 Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey by the Australian HR Institute (AHRI) found that since 2019 workers’ individual levels of Positive Emotions, Meaning and Physical Health have significantly declined. Only 39.1% of workers said their work was valuable and worthwhile, versus 47% in 2021, and 52.9% in 2020.

By incorporating manifestation techniques—the practice of focusing on specific goals and actively visualising their achievement—employees can create a more purposeful approach to both their careers and personal lives.

3 Practical Steps to Manifest Success

1. Create a Vision Board

• Encourage employees to create digital or physical vision boards

  • Use digital tools like Canva's free vision board templates, Pinterest boards for digital inspiration and goal-tracking.

  • For physical boards, visit Officeworks for supplies and get creative during lunch breaks

• Include both professional goals (career advancement, skill development) and personal aspirations

• Place the vision board as a desktop background or on the office wall

• Update quarterly to maintain relevance and momentum

2. Practice Daily Visualisation

• Download guided visualisation apps like Insight Timer or Smiling Mind

• Set aside 10 minutes each morning for visualisation exercises

  • Focus on both short-term and long-term goals

  • Imagine specific details about achieving these goals

• Keep a visualisation journal using apps like Day One or traditional notebooks

• Join local mindfulness groups through Meetups

3. Set S.M.A.R.T. Goals

• Specific: Clear, well-defined objectives

• Measurable: Quantifiable progress markers

• Achievable: Realistic yet challenging targets

• Relevant: Aligned with personal and company values

• Time-bound: Clear deadlines and milestones
