Wed 26 Jun 2024 14:00 - 15:30 at ConverStations Room (A108) - ConverStation #2
The well-being and productivity of IT workers are crucial for both individual success and the overall prosperity of the organisations they serve. This study proposes mindfulness to alleviate stress and improve mental well-being for IT workers. During an 8-week program, IT workers learn about mindfulness, coupled with breathing practices. This study investigates the potential effects of these practices by analysing participants’ reflections through thematic analysis and daily well-being rat- ings. The analysis showcased an increase in mental well-being and perceived productivity. It also indicated a change in the participants’ perception, which showed increased self-awareness. The study recommends continuing the program in the industry to see its impact on work outputs.
