Primed to Thrive: Investigating the Combined Impact of Mindfulness Education and Meditation Practice on Psychological and Workplace Outcomes

Employees commonly experience stress and reduced well-being that can affect workplace functioning. This interventional study will evaluate whether combining mindfulness-related educational materials with a brief daily guided meditation practice delivered through a smartphone application improves psychological well-being and workplace outcomes compared with educational materials alone. Adult employees will be randomized to receive the meditation plus educational materials during the initial intervention period or after a waitlist period, with assessments completed at multiple time points over approximately 12 weeks. The primary outcome will evaluate change in work engagement using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9).

Treatment and study plan

Meditation

Behavioral

Participants engage in a minimum of 7 minutes of daily guided meditation via the Miracle of Mind program, delivered through the 3C's app, during their assigned intervention period (Weeks 1-4 for the intervention group; Weeks 5-8 for the waitlist control group). The practice involves voice-guided seated meditation with simple breathing techniques and chants. App- and email-based reminders are provided during the active intervention period only.

Mindful Educational Material

Behavioral

Participants receive access to work-related mindfulness educational materials throughout the full 12-week study period via the 3C's app. Materials are derived from Sadhguru's teachings and address topics including stress management, communication, and work-life balance. Both groups receive these materials to ensure comparable engagement and provide a control condition for evaluating the specific effects of meditation.

Primary outcomes

  1. Work Engagement (UWES-9)

    Time frame: Baseline T1 toT2 - Intervention Phase I (Weeks 1-4)

    To examine the changes in psychological and workplace outcomes associated with a combined intervention of mindfulness-related educational materials and meditation practice versus educational materials alone.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Stress (PSS)

    Time frame: Baseline T1 to T4 ((Week 1- Week 12)

    To investigate the durability of improvements in psychological and workplace outcomes following the meditation + education intervention compared with the education-only condition.

Other outcomes

  1. Mood and Mental Health (SPANE)

    Time frame: Baseline T1 to T4 ((Week 1- Week 12)

    To explore whether individual differences in meditation engagement are associated with greater outcome improvements.
