The traffic wardens in Glasgow have been practicing mindfulness to help with stress.
It seems to be working Traffic wardens in Glasgow have taken up yoga as a way to combat the stress of the job — and it seems to be working. Parking attendants in the Scottish city have reported feeling ‘more upbeat, fitter and calmer’ following the exercise sessions. The city centre parking wardens often face ‘conflict, anger, and abuse’, and are targets of unhappy drivers who have just been handed a parking fine.
The former manager, who is now retired, said the benefits were noticed after just the first few sessions. ‘They all loved it,’ Kenny revealed. ‘They could see the benefits early on and continued for the rest of the block. ‘After each class they would put their uniforms back on and get back out into the city centre feeling more upbeat and positive. ‘The team ended up happier and fitter, which in the long run I’m sure would have prevented absences – it’s a win-win situation.
