For a great introduction to “Mindfulness”,  how it works, and its application to the workplace: read Professor David J Lee’s article, Mindfulness In The Workplace sponsored by Miami Miller School of Medicine & NIOSH.

Mindfullness has become a staple offering within the HR toolkit.

In fact, over half of all large corporations now offer some form of mindfulness training to employees.

This prevalence seems to be justified as mindfulness research suggests this quality can support the well-being, relationships and performance of employees at work. Surprising to some, there has not been any rigorous research that shows potential downsides to mindfulness at work — that is, until now.

A recent series of studies demonstrates that under specific workplace conditions mindfulness becomes a detriment to employee performance.

In this session, you will:

• Understand how mindfulness can both support and undermine workplace outcomes
• Engage in a short introductory meditation
•  Learn how these current research findings help reveal more about the presentation of emotions at work
• ·Explore ways to further support employees who are receiving mindfulness training
