Mindfulness: Mindfulness at Work

Research shows that mindfulness makes a difference in the workplace. It can ease stress, helping you to put aside unhelpful negative thoughts, and allow you instead to enjoy your work. It can even improve your focus, making your thoughts clearer, meaning that you can be more productive.

This course explains what mindfulness is, how it works, and the benefits it offers. You’ll learn to recognise when you’re having distracting thoughts that are taking you away from the present and causing you stress. We’ll then show you how mindfulness can help bring you back to the present moment and help you to feel more calm and focused.

The course finishes with a short guided meditation, putting mindfulness into practice.The meditation is one that can be used at any time and in any workplace. We talk you through the meditation step-by-step, making it easy to follow, and allowing you to feel the positive effects of mindfulness. Once you’ve taken the course, you’ll be able to use this meditation any time you are feeling stressed or worried and need a bit of mental space.

This microlearning course is an animated video, with audio narration and a multiple-choice post-assessment.
