Riassunto

Mindfulness-based interventions in organizations offer the potential to build individual and institutional resilience, engage employees, and address workplace stress. Drawing from the latest research in neuroscience and behavioral science,Mindfulness in the Workplace explains how this approach can be used as a change management and organizational development strategy. The book proposes that OD and HR professionals are best suited to understand the complexity of implementing change in organizational systems and therefore should be the ones bringing mindfulness in-house.
Chapters cover how to identify the key stakeholders and how to work with them on creating a mindfulness initiative, how to adapt the language of mindfulness to the context of the organization, how to establish metrics, and measure return on investment. Case studies from companies including Capital One Finance, illustrate why organizations choose to implement mindfulness, how they do so, the challenges they face, lessons learned, and the results.

Recensione:

This is a must-read book for anyone who is thinking about introducing mindfulness in their organization." --(Dr Ho Law, Founder, Empsy®, Cambridge Coaching Psychology Group 2016-03-03)

"Whether you're a vehement critic, still sitting on the fence or feel marginalized in your enthusiasm for mindfulness-based workplace interventions, I urge you to read this important book! Its inclusion of inspiring yet honest stories from practitioners and organisations actually applying mindfulness is particularly welcome in what is still a rather barren field....This collection goes a long way to... heal the split between the personal and the professional in the workplace and beyond, fostering organizational cultures in which people can flourish." --(Liz Hall, author of Mindful Coaching and editor of Coaching in Times of Crisis and Transformation 2016-03-04)
