James River Corporation - 90 employees of JRC’s packaging plant in Redmond, WA were trained in IQM®, including the management team, sales staff and 50 employees from the factory floor. Profound reductions in anger, anxiety, depression, fatigue and sadness was found as a result of the IQM training. Physical energy levels improved and sleeplessness, body aches and tension decreased substantially. Social support (reflects the degree employees feel appreciated) and decision-making effectiveness also improved substantially.

In addition, the individuals who responded to the questions "I feel - angry, anxious, worried, fatigued, exhausted, tired" - "Often" or "Most of the Time" and those with high levels of Physical Stress Symptoms were separated to form a sub-group in order to examine changes in what might be considered a "problem" population.
