KEYNOTE - MINDFULNESS: A PATH TOWARDS HAPPINESS IN ORGANISATIONS 

Mindfulness, Happiness, Wellbeing, Compassion… until recently, these words seemed alien to the world of business, but times have changed. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mindfulness workshops have become some of the most popular events; the UN has declared the 20th of March World Happiness Day, and each year the World Happiness Report gives an overview of the state of the world from the perspective of Happiness and Wellbeing.

Where does this trend come from? Is it simply one more short-lived fad, or are there deeper causes underlying it that can impact the business world?

Based on his experience as Program Director of the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan, we will reflect

on the nature of true Happiness, and using case studies, he will show its implication in organizational contexts.

We will also explore “Happiness Skills”, such as Mindfulness, Compassion and Listening Skills, and we will ask

ourselves what this could mean for our own organization.
