Benefits of mindfulness for employees (click on the hypertext to read the scientific abstracts):
- Improved quality of life and decreased distress and anxiety
- Decreased “role conflict” among employees

An introductory mindfulness course begins with basic training in mindfulness meditation.

Mind-Body Wellness also places special emphasis on how to practice mindfulness on the job, including mindful communication.
A typical introductory mindfulness course for employees includes:
- Four to six sessions that cover: 1) what mindfulness is and how to practice it, 2) mindfulness of the body, 3) mindfulness for coping with stress, and 4) practicing mindfulness on the job (including mindful communication)
- Mindfulness practice CDs and hand-outs
- Tea, fruit, and simple snacks for use during the tea meditation
