Case study

Client: A public body supporting the Scottish arts, screen and creative industries.

Client’s aims: The creative arts and public sector industries were under a lot of pressure due to COVID-19. The employer wanted to support staff in every way they possibly could to help them manage the difficulties they were facing in both their personal and professional lives.

The programme: The support needed to engage a wide range of employees so the Moment is Now created a programme with a variety of services, including:

  • Online drop-in sessions (also recorded for people who couldn’t attend)
  • Two 8-week mindfulness courses – one on developing a mindfulness practice for employees’ personal and professional lives, and one on mindful self-compassion
  • Fortnightly supportive newsletters with mindfulness, health and resilience tips, e.g., how to beat the afternoon slump, short mindfulness practices for busy days, etc
  • An e-learning programme with audio and video programmes to support the learning
  • Optional 1-1 sessions for anyone needing extra support.

Case study feedback

I particularly enjoyed how the course brought in elements of the wider/scientific benefits of mindfulness. It felt well structured, and I particularly enjoyed the opportunities to hear from others on the course as this helped me reflect on my own experiences. In a home working environment, it created opportunities to engage with colleagues outwith a formal work setting.”

Thank you for the excellent course; I appreciated the opportunity to attend and practice and to be guided by such a skilful and experienced practitioner.”

A business owner’s view of the impact of mindfulness

as a leader, I found this really important to share with my team, to encourage them to hit ‘pause’ in their day, to put a 5-minute slot into their diary each day and pause the noise. Turn off the Wifi and pause the emails, texts, WhatsApp chatter and calls and take five minutes to focus on breathing and being present.

“…they have told me that now, when they are busy and the noise feels overwhelming, they naturally pause without thinking and breathe through it.

“…it has not only helped me but also my very busy team and we now share the [mindfulness] in our meetings – it’s top of the agenda in my company!”
