The document discusses how mindfulness practices, such as breathing exercises and body scans, can help address two major problems in modern workplaces: health and stress issues caused when job demands exceed resources, and safety issues that often stem from worker inattentiveness or distraction. Mindfulness is presented as a way to alleviate stress, improve mental and physical health, reduce absenteeism, and enhance safety awareness by cultivating focus and presence in the current moment.

Estudo dos Valores Organizacionais Percebidos na Cultura Organizacional de um...Juliana Camboim Lula
Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal a análise dos valores organizacionais percebidos pelos membros de uma organização resultante da fusão de duas empresas do setor de telecomunicações. Fusões e aquisições são processos complexos que geram impactos profundos na cultura organizacional da nova empresa, influenciando diretamente na criação das novas identidades individual e organizacional. Este trabalho foi embasado nos conceitos de cultura e valores defendidos por Schein, Hosftede, Schwartz e Tamayo. Também contribuiu para a construção do trabalho, a pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos e trabalhos científicos sobre o tema tratado, assim como acesso a publicações divulgadas nos principais meios de comunicação. Para obtenção dos dados de análise, foi realizada a pesquisa Inventário de Perfis de Valores Organizacionais (IPVO), construído e validado por Oliveira e Tamayo em 2004, elaborada com base na teoria dos valores humanos de Shalom Schwartz. Participaram da pesquisa os colaboradores da organização, oriundos das duas empresas originárias.
Concluiu-se, após análise dos dados obtidos, que os valores com melhores pontuações em importância dada pelos colaboradores, estão em sintonia com os principais valores organizacionais divulgados pela empresa. Porém, existem questões que envolvem a relação “capital-trabalho” que ainda podem ser melhor exploradas.

iCAAD Fashion Development and Understanding of Mental Health and Safe Guardin...iCAADEvents
This workshop will help talent managers to improve their professional and personal development by being better equipped to recognise, understand and find treatment for mental health and addictive disorders.
From personal experience, it can be particularly challenging to work with talent as they can often be of a sensitive and perhaps vulnerable predisposition and due to the nature of their work and environment, be more likely to experience mental health issues.
This workshop is about equipping the participants with an understanding of basic mental health and addiction issues that may affect their clients and equipment them with information to make better evaluations and information on how to seek help.

Stress among health professionals in covid 19 pandemicJilani A.q
There is rise in stress among the front line health care workers including Intensiveness,Physicians, Pulmonologists, Surgeons and associated paramedical staffs.
In fact, while treating the COVID-19 patients, the Doctors are also isolated away from family and live in the infected areas i.e. with patients.
The fear of exposures with long duty hours without relaxations put them at the greater risks for stress and burnout stage.

• When in the shower this morning?
• When you walked to this room?
5. Our work environment
• Increasing competition
• Organisational change
• Downsizing
• Work intensification
• Job insecurity

Health and (dis)tress
When demands
exceed the personal
and social resources
a person is able to
mobilise
7. What is stress?
• Stimulus can vary

eliciting the ‘fight or flight’ response
• Release of stress hormones like cortisol

(i.e. depression and cardiovascular

11. Significance of stress
in modern workplaces
• Mental health has overtaken physical health
as cause of longest absences from work (11.8 weeks)
• Mental health absences are 3 times longer
than other serious claims
• 20% of workers suffer from mild level
of depression

12. Something to consider…
Is there a way to alleviate stress, mental
and physical health problems, absenteeism
and presenteeism – all at once?
13. Problem Two:
Safety and awareness
Workers have a responsibility to:
• Obey all reasonable instructions
• Follow the safe procedures of doing the job
• Not put yourself or co-workers at risk

In our experience, 95 per cent of accidents occur
because of the acts of people…when you’ve done the
technical things you’ve only just started.

15. Problem Two:
Safety and awareness
• 70% of our top injuries involve a person who
is inattentive/distracted
Source: University of California Health and Safety Research
• 62% of car crashes in Australia due to
inattention or possible inattention

16. Problem Two:
Safety and awareness
Should we rely solely on
regulations, rules and procedures
to keep people safe?
23. In your workplace…
• Are workers sometimes stressed?
• Are the causes and solutions to stress
well understood?
• Are workers sometimes inattentive,
and what are the consequences?
• What role could mindfulness play
in alleviating these issues?
