Abstract
The definition of mindfulness is "being conscious or aware of something ... achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings and thoughts." Focusing on the present moment with nonjudgment can improve employee well-being and operational effectiveness. Mindfulness in business can include elements such as effective communication, time management, and meditation. Practicing these effectively can increase employee work-life satisfaction, empowerment and engagement.
