Mindfulness can have a huge impact within organisations: helping to improve wellbeing, enhance performance and significantly reduce sickness due to stress, anxiety and depression.
WorkplaceMT - Mindfulness for the Modern Workplace
WorkplaceMT is a structured approach to introducing mindfulness within organisations and is based on the work of Oxford University's Mindfulness Center. Unlike therapeutic mindfulness WorkplaceMT is specifically adapted to meet the needs of organisations and their teams.
Given the objectives of WorkplaceMT the format and structure of the training differs when compared to therapeutic mindfulness.
This makes for a more accessible, workplace-friendly learning experience.
