<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Address issues such as resilience, change management and engagement with this guide to organizational applications of mindfulness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Mindfulness-based interventions in organizations offer the potential to build individual and organizational resilience, engage employees and address workplace stress. <b><i>Mindfulness in the Workplace</i></b> is a practical guide written for practitioners who want to learn how mindfulness can be used as a change management and organizational development strategy. Drawing from the latest research evidence from neuro- and behavioural science, <b><i>Mindfulness in the Workplace</i></b> offers a framework and guidance on how to start evolution- not revolution- in the organization. It ensures the greatest chance of success, showing how to identify the key stakeholders and work with them on understanding the power of a mindfulness initiative, how to identify a mindfulness champion, adapt the language of mindfulness to the context of the organization, establish metrics, and measure return on investment. <p/><b><i>Mindfulness in the Workplace </i></b>proposes that HR and OD professionals are best placed to understand the complexity of implementing change in organizational systems and, therefore, the practice of mindfulness need to be brought in-house, even if they bring in external mindfulness coaches to train their leaders. Case studies including Capital One Finance and the NHS Mental Health Trust cover the reasoning behind these initiatives, how they were planned, the barriers they faced, the lessons learned, and their results. This book offers a forum for HR and OD practitioners to hear from other practitioners who have implemented organizational mindfulness-based interventions using change management principles so that they can understand how they might be applied to their own practice and their own organizations.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>an important and essential reference point for practitioners and academics trying to deepen their awareness of mindfulness and in navigating through the narratives of fairness and dignity in relation to work and HR related matters.-- "Professor Miguel Martinez Lucio, International HRM, The University of Manchester"<br><br>Chapman-Clarke introduces an impressive array of perspectives, many of them from HR practitioners working in a range of sectors.
