Researchers observed workers at an American insurance company and an Indian IT consulting center and concluded that even seven to eight minutes of meditation a day can "make people more helpful" in their work environment. "Even with a one-time intervention, you're getting smoother, pleasant, more helpful workers," said Lindsey Cameron, one of the paper's co-authors and a University of Pennsylvania professor in an interview with Knowledge@Wharton. People are working in teams, so mindfulness can act like a buffer to improve relational coordination and functioning," Cameron said to Knowledge@Wharton. It's especially rich to see mindfulness touted as a tool for improving worker performance when work-related stress has been climbing for literal decades. If the people I know are any indication, sleep-disrupting, relationship-impacting stress might be the only work trend hotter than mindfulness right now.
