On Monday, Amazon announced WorkingWell, a new program that it claims helps make its workplaces safe by drastically cutting injury rates by fortifying each worker’s mind.

The program will feature "physical and mental activities, wellness exercises, and healthy eating support" that are "scientifically proven to help them recharge and reenergize." Part of the program will see the rollout of what Amazon is calling AmaZen, which sounds like it came straight from the writer’s room at Black Mirror. AmaZen “guides employees through mindfulness practices in individual interactive kiosks at buildings,” according to a press release. During shifts, “employees can visit AmaZen stations and watch short videos featuring easy-to-follow wellbeing activities, including guided meditations, positive affirmations, calming scenes with sounds, and more.”
