Based on emerging research, mindfulness-based interventions in organizations offer the potential to build individual and organizational resilience, engage employees and address workplace stress. The Mindful Organization is a practical guide written by practitioners for practitioners who want to learn how mindfulness can be used as a change management and organizational development strategy. Drawing from the latest research evidence from neuro- and behavioural science, The Mindful Organization offers a practical framework and guidance on how to start evolution- not revolution- in the organization. It ensures the greatest chance of success, showing how to identify the key stakeholders and work with them on understanding the power of a mindfulness initiative, how to identify a mindfulness champion, adapt the language of mindfulness to the context of the organization, establish metrics, and measure return on investment. The Mindful Organization proposes that HR and OD professionals are best placed to understand the complexity of implementing change in organizational systems and, therefore, the practice of mindfulness need to be brought in-house, even if they bring in external mindfulness coaches to train their leaders. Case studies including Capital One Finance, BT, and the NHS Mental Health Trust cover the reasoning behind these initiatives, how they were planned, the barriers they faced, the lessons learned, and their results. This book offers a forum for HR and OD practitioners to hear from other practitioners who have implemented organizational mindfulness-based interventions using change management principles so that they can understand how they might be applied to their own practice and their own organizations.

Informal Learning in Organizations Kogan Page

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Everyone, at some point in their lives, has learned something seemingly by accident; a skill mastered, a concept understood. As the pace of change in the workplace speeds up and training budgets are challenged, it becomes essential for employees to learn as they go along. In this connected world, new ways of learning are emerging all of the time, whether the learning is planned, unexpected or self-directed. For those responsible for learning and development in organizations, understanding how this kind of informal learning can be utilised and measured is key to providing efficient and cost-effective ways of delivering on organizational objectives around people development. To do so requires taking a strategic approach and a coherent view of the learner's needs, the environment in which they work and the organizational culture in which they are immersed. Informal Learning offers practical tools including checklists and action plan questions to guide the Learning and Development practitioner in how to design and implement an informal learning strategy that is personalised to the needs of their own organization. It combines the latest thinking on new technology and practices, with established theory and research to provide an evidence-based review of informal learning and its true impact. It offers an overview of how and why informal learning resonates with people, how it works and when and why it doesn't, supported by case studies of informal learning in action. This book is for anyone interested in improving capability- personal capability and the individual's role as an effective agent in their continued development, and the capability of people in their organization as a source of competitive advantage. It will assist the reader in taking action to make sense of their connected environments and to influence and manage the learning opportunities thus presented, to create a continuous learning culture for those with whom they work.
