In this Podcast episode No. 7 PoM - Peace of Mind ... Happy Life! dives into the topic of "Mental Health @ Work" in celebration of World Mental Health Day 2024 (annual, 10th Oct).

With an increasing focus on employee well-being in the corporate world, we explore the impact of mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) in the workplace. From global giants like Google and Aetna to smaller organizations, MBPs are rapidly becoming a core part of corporate wellness strategies. Aetna has trained 13,000 employees in mindfulness practise.

We break down the structure of MBPs, highlighting mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). And we discuss the measurable effects of these programs on stress reduction and employee satisfaction, while also exploring the more nuanced outcomes like productivity gains and emotional intelligence improvements.

Additionally, we touch in our Podcast on potential challenges, such as the risk of mindfulness being misused to push employees harder rather than supporting genuine well-being.

This episode raises thought-provoking questions about the potential of mindfulness to fuel a shift toward conscious capitalism—where businesses prioritize the well-being of employees and the wider community alongside profitability.

The episode also links to broader concepts like collective intelligence, psychological safety, and the role mindfulness can play in creating compassionate, ethically-driven workplaces.
