Resumen

Se ha llevado a cabo un MBI (Mindfulness Based Intervention) dirigido al colectivo de profesionales de empresa, y en concreto de empresas multinacionales en el sector de Tecnologías de la Información con más de 3000 empleados en España. Estas personas se encuentran sometidas a altos niveles de presión personal y profesional, presentando muy frecuentemente un alto estrés laboral con gran dificultad de conciliación entre su vida personal y profesional y con una percepción de elevada inestabilidad laboral lo que provoca en muchos casos una alta reactividad emocional, bajo nivel de motivación y elevado burnout. El MBI realizado consiste en una acción formativa de Mindfulness de seis semanas con contenidos basados en el protocolo MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program de la UMASS) y una duración total presencial de 20 horas. Esta acción formativa se aplica a cinco grupos de 10 a 12 personas a lo largo de un período de 8 meses, con un total de 56 participantes. El objetivo básico del MBI es aumentar en los participantes la capacidad de percepción y regulación de la atención, la consciencia de uno mismo y del momento presente, disminuyendo la reactividad emocional y la tendencia al juicio continuo como vía de mejora del clima laboral, la motivación y la productividad en la empresa. Los resultados obtenidos tanto cuantitativos con FFMQ: Five Factor Mindfulness Scale y MAAS: Mindful Attention Awareness Scale como cualitativos mediante input directo de los participantes, parecen respaldar claramente la consecución de estos objetivos para este tipo de colectivo, reafirmando a su vez las conclusiones obtenidas en publicaciones previas acerca de los efectos de la práctica de Mindfulness.
