Summary: This study investigates the potential of team mindfulness training in the workplace by integrating individually focused mindfulness meditation literature with collective mindfulness scholarship.

Additionally, it shows promise in developing collective capacity to manage stress and unexpected difficulty. The study contributes to theory by outlining the interdependence between individual and collective mindfulness in workplaces and by suggesting the need for a cross-level approach in next-generation workplace training interventions.
