Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a 4-week heart-based meditation practice wellness workshop on burnout and emotional wellness in corporate employees. Corporate employees can be defined as individuals who work in large institutions with greater than 300 employees. The specific aim of this study is to assess changes in scores measuring symptoms of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment using the Maslach Burnout Index. We hypothesize that the meditation wellness practice will be associated with reduction in burnout for those who take part in the meditation program in comparison to the participants who did not meditate and participate in the wellness program.
