What is Workplace Mindfulness?
 
Mindfulness has a multitude of benefits for workplaces and businesses.
Speaking very generally, there are some mindfulness-based processes that are thought to affect employee performance and wellbeing. These include response flexibility, decreased rumination, empathy, affect regulations, increased self-determination and persistence, improved working memory and more accurate affective forecasting. 
 
Mindfulness results in improved social relationships. Positive workplace relationships can have a significant impact. They buffer the effects of workplace stressors, promote thriving in employees, and foster communication, creativity and citizenship behaviors. Mindfulness promotes positive social connections in the workplace through a number of integral mindfulness processes, but most especially empathy and response flexibility.
 
Employees who practice being mindful are therefore more likely to show greater acceptance of colleagues without reactivity. This course covers these topics:
