While the concept of mindfulness has been around for centuries and has formed the basis of many religious and contemplative traditions, in the past 10 years many organisations have introduced and encouraged mindfulness practices for their employees. Studies have shown the mindfulness practices can be reliably and validly measured, and are linked to an array of individual and organisational outcomes, including increased productivity, decreased stressed levels and improved commitment to organisational goals.

We are proposing a series of 60-minute engaging and experiential online training modules that introduce valuable mindfulness practices that can help individuals improve their performance, satisfaction and well-being and address organisational aims. These modules can be delivered as a series, or as individual, stand-alone offerings.

Productive Mindfulness Programme Aims:

• To boost personal and collective productivity
• To improve employee engagement and satisfaction
• To improve management of stress and anxiety
• To enhance focus, resilience and creativity
• To reduce burnout, absenteeism and turnover
