Description

Mindfulness offers tremendous potential in organisational settings, both for individual wellbeing and for transformation of workplace cultures. This course will explore the specific challenges, pressures and rewards of introducing mindfulness in the workplace context. We’ll look at how to design a good intervention for organisations, including a balance of personal mindfulness practice and applied mindfulness in the work setting. We will cover some of the research outcomes and case studies for workplace mindfulness, and learn about aspects of social neuroscience that serve as a context to how mindfulness impacts group settings.

You’ll have a chance to explore approaches for planning and scoping mindfulness in the workplace, and cases for approaching senior management. The course will aim to equip you with an understanding of the issues specific to workplace mindfulness, and to strengthen your confidence to work with mindfulness in organisations.

Mindfulness is a way of focusing on the present moment, often practised by paying attention to the breath as a form of meditation. It encourages people to become more aware of their thoughts and feelings so that they can manage them in a different way with more positive outcomes

The specific benefits and application of mindfulness principles and practices are discussed in more detail in the areas of psychotherapy to relieve depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, and chronic pain, as an intervention for behavioral problems such as addictions, and to enhance the wellbeing and performance of kids, teens, and in organizational development.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
