Abstract
These days, individuals are part of business environments far more overwhelming than ever before as a result of COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 crisis, thus having to deal with competitive, demographic, global, economic, legal, political, social, and technological adjustments, advances, and provocations. The post-COVID-19 era has to find the answers and the solutions derived from the key question: “How can people bring mindfulness into the business environment, in order to make individuals more aware of their inner power and their surroundings, and act towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?” This study centers, on the one hand, on analyzing the importance and the role of mindfulness for individuals, thus enhancing the tremendous benefits of the impressive, inspiring, and profound mindfulness movement in organizations, and focuses, on the other hand, on presenting those solutions that empower individuals to proceed to the next stages that represent embracing the mindfulness state of mind, by boosting productivity, cultivating joy, and sharping awareness.
