In February 2020 we launched the Mindful Workplace Community at an event hosted by HSBC at their London HQ.

It was a very thought provoking morning with impressive and passionate presentations from both Mari Thorman (Chief Enterprise Business Architect and Chair of mindfulness @HSBC Network) and Matt Champion (Customer Innovation Director and Global Mindfulness@SAP).

With thanks to both Mari and Matt who shared their workplace mindfulness programmes and why inter-organisational community is so important and also to Chris Ruane (Former Chair, All-Party Parliamentary Mindfulness Group).

Andrew McNeill (MWC workplace policy lead) wrote, ‘Absolutely delighted to be part of the launch of the Mindful Workplace Community. I am very grateful to all the speakers: Chris Ruane, Jamie Bristow, Mari Lewis and Matt Champion for their inspiration. The event was rich with insight, interest and enthusiasm. Proud to be a member of the MWC which will enable advocates of mindfulness in the workplace to learn from and support each other. I would encourage others to join to add their voice and experience.”

Wherever you are in the world, you can join to build connections, share insights and access curated resources. Paid membership will support a growing schedule of online events and connection opportunities. Wherever there is a geographical critical mass of members we will also be working with local partners to offer in-person salon events and other networking meet-ups.
