“Six, seven years ago, mindfulness was not even a word being spoken,” says Beth Finkle, UD’s director of employee health and wellbeing. “Today, employees are much better advocates for themselves and there is far more focus on a work-life
balance.”
Already, the mindfulness movement
is spreading from department to depart- ment. In the fall, that mindfulness train- ing will be offered to the community as part of UD’s leadership offerings, and Finkle has hopes that the university’s out- reach will eventually include parents, stu- dents and even victims of violence.
“I feel mindfulness is really opening these doors to prevention,” says Finkle, who has also worked with the New Castle County Chamber of Commerce to bring mindfulness training to small business- es. “Employees are also really buying into this because they see it can help reduce healthcare costs.”
In other instances, the benefits of an improved mental outlook can be achieved without mindfulness necessarily being part of the equation, businesses believe. At Corporation Services Company, a 118-year-old Delaware firm, its ultra-mod- ern new headquarters near Greenville included elements designed to foster contentment, cooperation and calm among its staff of 700-plus—including a comfy “sunken living room” work area, “social cafes” on all three floors, a walking path through a meadow and naturally lit workspaces.
“It’s amazing how a change of scenery can improve one’s state of mind,” says Kristyn DiIenno, CSC’s human resourc- es manager. “Every day I look forward to coming to work.”
Mindfulness programs allow workers to internalize that fresh outlook, giving them a resiliency and perspective they may have never known they had, experts say. “It’s a practice that lets you change the way you react to your thoughts,” says Lisa Rector, director of educational ser- vices at Minds Over Matter, a Rehoboth- based provider of mindfulness training in area schools.
“By nature, we tend to be negative thinkers—it’s part of our genetic make- up,” adds Karen Barwick, founder of Minds Over Matter. “But it doesn’t have to be that way—you learn that through mindfulness.”
