Mindfulness - Developing a Healthy Mindful Workspace
Mindfulness is a practice that can help improve concentration, performance, reduce stress and increase wellbeing.
NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) note that:
Mental wellbeing at work is determined by the interaction between the working environment, the nature of the work and the individual (NICE PH22). However, in the public sector, 72% of public sector employers reported an increase in mental health issues for staff last year, Health, Wellbeing & Mindfulness (Briefing Paper, the Mindfulness Initiative, 2019).
The NICE quality standard ‘Healthy workplaces: improving employee mental and physical health and wellbeing’ (QS147) recommends organisations and employers develop workplace solutions to reduce the risk of stress and identify when to provide additional support.
This 2 hour workshop offers activities and resources to help you:
- Understand how regular Mindfulness practice can improve wellbeing, increase performance, reduce employee stress.
- Explore how Mindful solutions can help create a Mindful workspace environment (home working or office based).
- Develop a Mindfulness self-care strategy to reduce risk and provide support to others.
Our next 'Mindfulness - Developing a Healthy Mindful Workspace' workshop will run soon. Tickets are £60 + VAT per person.
