About this study
Official title: Primed to Thrive: Investigating the Combined Impact of Mindfulness Education and Meditation Practice on Psychological and Workplace Outcomes (BEGIN III)
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).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MeditationBehavioural
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 MaterialBehavioural
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.
