Abstract NL

De hype rondom mindfulness lijkt grotendeels voorbij, de aandacht in de media loopt terug en het aantal aanmeldingen voor groepstrainingen daalt; de hoogste tijd om te voorkomen dat ‘het kind met het badwater wordt weggegooid’.

In dit artikel wordt besproken wat de effecten van een mindfulnesstraining (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, MBSR) en een additionele organisatiegerichte gezondheidsinterventie zijn op de mentale gezondheid, werkprestaties en werkkenmerken, en persoonlijke competenties van docenten in het middelbaar beroepsonderwijs (MBO). Deze factoren zijn van groot belang voor de duurzame inzetbaarheid van medewerkers en het succes van organisaties. Het artikel biedt daarmee praktijkgerichte kennis aan HR-adviseurs, management en medewerkers over mindfulness (training) en over de potentiële effecten die een mindfulnesstraining - al dan niet in combinatie met een organisatiegerichte gezondheidsinterventie - kan hebben op de mentale gezondheid van medewerkers en op andere werkgerelateerde factoren, zoals werkprestatie, ervaren werkkenmerken en persoonlijke competenties. Ook wordt stilgestaan bij ethische overwegingen rond de toepassing van mindfulnesstrainingen in arbeidsorganisaties en wordt een aantal praktische adviezen gegeven voor HR-adviseurs.
