This mindfulness program introduces participants to workplace-focused mindfulness training, based on the research-based 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program. Through key mindfulness practices, group discussions and inquiry into experiences, participants will learn foundational mindfulness skills and techniques that can be easily incorporated into their unique workplace setting to improve work engagement and career sustainability.
