Today's work environments are far more complex than they were a few decades ago. There are several factors that have contributed to this trend, some of which are foundationally constructive, such as increased diversity in the workplace, rapid change, massive innovation, and globally dispersed teams. At the same time, these developments require increased mindfulness. This symposium aims to underscore the importance of mindfulness practices amongst stakeholders in a work setting. Mindfulness is a universal human ability and does not require any particular religious or cultural belief system. Mindfulness has the ability to ignite positive changes within the practitioner through increased self-transcendence (Kumar et. al., 2021). This means, that mindfulness is beneficial to its practitioners in multiple settings. Gupta and Singh (2019) underscore a strong connection between workplace mindfulness, life satisfaction and individual performance, and subsequently encourage those making decisions in work environments to cultivate a tradition of mindfulness practices to enhance general employee and organizational wellness. Utilizing a variety of proposed strategies, the panelists in this symposium will combine their common advocacy for revitalizing work environments toward greater collective fulfillment. More specifically, the panel of seasoned scholars will present reflections on Buddhist psychology, systems thinking, prosocial leadership, quantum science, mindfulness and action-taking capacity.
