Abstract

This paper explores the burgeoning field of mindfulness in organisational contexts, examining its evolution from Buddhist practices to contemporary corporate applications. It critically analyses the implementation of mindfulness interventions in Fortune 500 companies, elucidating both the potential benefits and challenges. The research highlights the role of mindful leadership in fostering positive organisational cultures and addresses the complexities of integrating these practices within diverse corporate settings. Drawing on case studies, the paper illuminates the variability in mindfulness approaches and their impacts on employee well-being, productivity, and organisational resilience. Whilst acknowledging the promising outcomes, the study also considers critiques regarding the commodification of mindfulness and its potential to blur work-life boundaries. The concept of Microdosed Mindfulness is introduced as a nuanced strategy for overcoming resistance and facilitating gradual adoption. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for organisations navigating the implementation of mindfulness practices in the contemporary world.
