Workplace Mindfulness

Supporting Employee Well-being and Organisational Success

Workplace well-being has never been more important. Employers face growing challenges, from rising stress and burnout to declining mental health and reduced productivity. Mindfulness in the workplace offers a proven, practical solution to these issues, supporting employees’ mental well-being while enhancing focus, resilience, and collaboration.

Mindfulness: A Tried and Tested Solution

In March 2022, the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released guidelines on mental well-being at work, strongly recommending mindfulness as an effective programme for managing stress and improving overall well-being. NICE advised that all employers – regardless of size – should offer or help employees access mindfulness, yoga, or meditation as part of an ongoing commitment to workplace health.

For employees facing poor mental health or at risk of it, NICE specifically recommended access to mindfulness training, cognitive behavioural therapy, or stress management programmes. These guidelines, supported by the Mindfulness Initiative and integrated into resources like the CBI Work Health Index, highlight the importance of evidence-based, high-quality mindfulness programmes in fostering healthier, more engaged workplaces.

Tailored Mindfulness Training for Your Workplace

To be worthwhile, a mindfulness offering must be implemented for the right reasons, and with appropriate resources.
