Abstract
Mindfulness has arrived at the workplace. The term denotes the state or trait of non-judgmentally and non-reactively paying attention to the very moment. The practice of mindfulness involves forms of meditation practice and attention exercises conducted to reach such mindful state or trait.
Today’s economic environment of globalisation and ever-faster pace of change, requires businesses and leaders to adapt how they manage transformational change. Along with addressing other organisational and individual objectives, one strategy for organisations to address change is to implement mindfulness education programs for employees and particularly for leaders. Moreover, organisations are recognising that mindfulness concepts, which have long been exclusively linked to contemplative and religious traditions, now have the potential to transform the workplace.
