Overview

The Parliamentary report Mindful Nation UK advocates Mindfulness Based Interventions (MBIs) as the most effective tool in combating workplace stress, absenteeism and improving organisational effectiveness.

Practised by organisations like Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust, Transport for London and University of Sussex, mindfulness can enhance performance, improve working memory, executive function, and individual resilience.

Implementing Mindfulness at Work provides delegates with the tools and guidance needed to develop a realistic, sustainable strategy for implementing MBIs in your organisation.
