Abstract
This paper presents how to implement a program with an Intrapreneurship methodology such as Mindfulness which develops the emotional intelligence. The objective is for workers to acquire role self-awareness using Mindfulness, and to improve the working environment. The results obtained after analysing quantitative variables are presented for a sample of 76 professionals working in nursing homes for the elderly after a Mindfulness and Emotional Management program for 8 weeks. The before and after step in the FFMQ questionnaire is used to examine how it acts as a measurement model for obtaining a report composed of 39 items, which measures the general tendency towards Mindfulness, based on five skills. The results show improvements in all the dimensions, and particularly in Observing, Acting with Self-Awareness and Nonjudging. In conclusion, the workers' social well-being improved after the program was implemented, thereby contributing to the improvement of their relationships with their colleagues.
