Mindful Work: Cultivating Mental Wellbeing in the Workplace

Online

Stress, burnout, and constant pressure at work can take a toll on mental health, leading to reduced productivity and overall dissatisfaction.

Mindfulness offers a powerful way of helping to create a work environment that fosters clarity, balance, and wellbeing.

This Mental Health Awareness Week workshop focuses on integrating mindfulness into the workplace to support mental wellness and improve daily performance and satisfaction. We will explore how mindful practices can transform the way we approach work, helping us stay present, reduce stress, and enhance both personal fulfillment and team collaboration.

Participants will learn how to:
- Practice mindfulness to reduce stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
- Improve focus and mental clarity, boosting productivity and creativity.
- Develop emotional resilience in the face of workplace challenges.
- Cultivate a greater sense of meaning and connection in their work.
- Foster a more supportive, mindful workplace culture for long-term success.

Through a blend of mindfulness exercises, neuroscience insights, and ancient wisdom teachings, this workshop offers practical tools for employees to take control of their mental health, find more satisfaction in their work, and contribute to a positive, thriving workplace environment.

Join us for an inspiring session that will empower you to embrace mindfulness as a path to mental wellbeing and professional success.

Manaaki Monday

RĀHINA | MONDAY

Start the week off with an act of kindness. On the first day of MHAW, take some time out of your day to help someone in a small but meaningful way. Even one simple thing, like carrying groceries or holding a door open for a stranger, can create a chain reaction of kindness that uplifts the whole community.

Ideas for how you can help someone today:

Tautoko Tuesday

RĀTŪ | TUESDAY

It’s no secret that the pandemic, rising costs and extreme weather events have made things tough for our local businesses and organisations over the past few years. Today, we encourage you to tautoko/support an independent merchant or community organisation. Why not purchase a small gift for a friend from a local creator, or post about an awesome business or community group on social media? A little tautoko can go a long way in difficult times.

To support a small neighbourhood business or community organisation today, you could:

Whānau Wednesday

RĀAPA | WEDNESDAY

We’ve made it to the middle of the week!

Feeling connected to others is strongly associated with better wellbeing, because it gives us a sense of meaning, safety, support and purpose. Give yourself — and your loved ones — a mid-week boost, by reaching out to a friend or whānau member you would like to catch up with.

As we move closer to the weekend, find some time in your day to connect with someone in your community that you don’t usually talk to. Introduce yourself to a neighbour, a parent at your child’s school, or someone at your local café . Building relationships with people who live in your community can create a supportive network, right at your doorstep. 

To get to know someone new in your community today, you could:
