Worklife Mindfulness Course

Put mindfulness to work in just 6 weeks
Outline

It is widely recognised that employers have a major role to play in supporting the wellbeing of those in their organisation. After all, this is where most of us spend most of our waking hours.

 

Since 2014 the UK government has been exploring the benefits of mindfulness through the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Mindfulness, see their 2015 Mindful Nation UK recommendations.

 ​

Their research found that mindfulness-based interventions can have positive effects on how we function at work.

 

It can assist with focus and a range of cognitive and communication skills. Even brief periods of mindfulness can improve reaction times, comprehension scores, working memory functioning and decision-making.

 

And it supports wellbeing as it leads to greater self-awareness so that workers can recognise signs, and take action to look after their mental health, as well as provide a means to stay well if living with a mental health issue. 

That’s why in 2022 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ( NICE) recommended all employees should be offered the opportunity to access mindfulness training (2).

Doing a course offers a means to not just develop an ability to be mindful but also know how to benefit from it in daily life.

Put Mindfulness to Work

6-week workplace training course

This 6-week course uses the Workplace Mindfulness Training (WorkplaceMT) model developed by The Mindfulness Exchange, a spin-off from Oxford University’s Mindfulness Centre. 

It is based on an NHS-approved mindfulness course that has been adapted for the public and designed for the modern workplace. 

 

The evidence-led programme combines psycho-education, mindfulness theory, regular practice and experiential insight to increase self-knowledge, awareness and management.

 

Each session builds on previous ones so that by the end of the course attendees know all they need to apply and benefit from putting mindfulness to work.

Session content

In just six 90 minute sessions via online video conferencing platforms like MS Teams or Zoom, I will share with your Team all they need to benefit from becoming mindful.

​Each week they will learn about different aspects of mindfulness, psychology and neuroscience research findings to help them understand the workings of the mind and how to put mindfulness to work.

​Each session includes meditation practices and discussion to build confidence in using their new skill.

​This course is the first step to bringing mindfulness to work.

​Learning outcomes

Attendees who complete the training will...

  • Have new ways to manage challenging situations and difficult feelings 

  • Be more present in meetings, one to ones and worklife in general 

  • Have increased self-awareness so that they are less reactive and more responsive

  • Have increased body awareness so they can better self-regulate

  • Engage and connect differently with others

  • Enjoy greater attentional control increasing focusing ability and decreasing distraction

  • Know powerful wellness practices 

  • Model a non-judging, open-minded approach

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in learning mindfulness who wants to learn how to bring mindfulness to work.

Please Note: This mindfulness course is not designed to be therapeutic.  If you have any concerns in this regard then it is recommended that you speak to a suitably qualified counsellor and, perhaps, learn in a clinical setting.

Duration

Mindfulness is a skill. So that attendee ability to pay attention and capacity to be mindful increases over time, the course is delivered in six modules with a different attention exercise (meditation) taught each time and practiced for a week.

Weekly commitment

1.5-2hr training session + formal and informal practice (min 30mins/day).

 

Practice is key, we are rewiring the brain. If attendees cannot commit to regular daily practice then this course is not for them. 

Training dates

The training can be scheduled at a time that suits your business. Workplaces tend to over this training after working hours.
