In this whitepaper we look at the increasing use of mindfulness in the workplace and how it's used to support employee wellbeing.

The paper goes on to consider why mindfulness has made such progress in corporate environments and concludes with an exploration of the various ways it has been used.

In conjunction with mental health charity Mind, we undertook a pilot of mental health training for line managers in UK banks. This report from CIPD highlights what we discovered from the pilot.

Learning to understand your resilience, recognising where it is weak and taking steps to build it will help you overcome stressful situations.

The report includes some great examples from the banking sector of wellbeing initiatives that exemplify what the research is calling for; that is wellbeing initiatives that are employee led or have very high levels of employee involvement and represent the kind of partnership approach that will be essential in the future.
