The publication in October 2015 of the “Mindful Nation UK Report” on behalf of the UK Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group has demonstrated the key role mindfulness can play in today’s society. It reviews the scientific evidence and current best practice in Mindfulness Training.
The report states: “Even brief periods of mindfulness practice can lead to objectively measured higher cognitive skills such as improved reaction times, comprehension scores, working memory functioning and decision making”
Mindfulness training is increasingly becoming an integral feature of international management and organisation development programmes. Some of the world’s leading companies including Google, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Apple Computers, Yahoo and KPMG have invested in mindfulness training for their employees. Why? Because it is a highly effective way to improve performance and well-being.
Mindfulness is a mind-body practice, one that enables us to use our full psychological and creative potential by training ourselves to pay attention to our present moment experience in a way that is both accepting and allowing. This enhanced state of moment-by-moment awareness then becomes the springboard for more effective, healthier ways of being, working and relating.
More than 2500 scientific research studies worldwide have revealed the mental and physiological advantages of the mindfulness process. Key benefits include a significant improvement in focus, concentration and attention; greater personal and inter-personal effectiveness; enhanced ability to cope with pressure and stress and maintain a sense of inner peace, balance and presence even in the midst of a busy work life.

Mindfulness has historically brought benefits to many individuals but is now increasingly being used by organisations to improve employee’s performance and well-being.
The popularity of training in mindfulness within the business world is in part due to research carried out by the American Institute of Health, University of Massachusetts, and the Mind/Body Medical Institute at Harvard University. Evidence-based studies from these renowned institutions have cited the following as specific benefits of mindfulness for businesses:
