Over the past decades, meditation has gained the prominence it long deserved in societies throughout the world. As dissatisfied workers called for more attention to their wellbeing, many contemporary workplaces have created facilities for employees to meditate, and while this may partly be attributed to leaders’ open-mindedness and their will to facilitate employees’ needs, the effects of allowing meditation for organizations should not be overlooked. Meditation is known to enhance employees’ self-directed learning (SDL) readiness, leading to a surge in their organizational innovative ability as well as improved organizational performance (Li-An, 2011). With today’s organizations facing a steady flood of surprises in a multitude of areas, they are in high need of continuous improvement and innovation to sustain competitive advantages. Among its many advantages, meditation calms the nerves, enhances breathing, increases brain functions, soothes pain, results in better sleep, improves focus and concentration, and balances mental and emotional health (Lugo, 2020). Understanding that meditation leads to numerous personal and performance-related benefits (Marques & Dhiman, 2009), we aim to use this PDW to jointly engage in short meditative practices, each with a different focus, but all aimed at increased wellbeing and collective improvement.
