Synopsis

Mindfulness, which enables to be aware of the experiences that occur in our lives in the present time, knowingly, willingly and without judgment, is becoming an increasingly important issue for the business world today. The additional expectations brought by the changing business world due to continuous changes and developments cause employees to experience negative emotions and even deteriorate their health status. In this context, mindfulness practices, which are a method that can save employees from negative emotions, have begun to be implemented in the business world. It is stated that with mindfulness, a situation that can be developed with various techniques, employees can reach higher performance as well as cope with negative emotions by having a constant attention ability in their business life with the attitudes and skills they will learn or exhibit. Although research on the effectiveness of mindfulness interventions in the workplace is limited, studies continue to be conducted on this subject. In addition, it is emphasized that practices that will increase awareness as well as awareness should be emphasized.
