Inner Engineering Online Intervention for a Fortune 500 Company

Sixty employees participated in the Inner Engineering Online pilot. The program duration was 40 days.

Participants took a pre-program survey and a post-program survey at the end of the 40-day practice period. The study collected both quantitative and qualitative data and used paired-sample t-test to determine the impact of the program on a wide array of attributes. Quantitative data was based on five different scales, for example, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Psychological Capital Scale and Utrecht Work Engagement.

The study established the efficacy of Inner Engineering Online in enhancing the following attributes

Responses for joy and vitality before and after practices.



Responses for different psychological metrics before and after practices.

According to the Rutgers study (Chang 2020), employees experienced a 13% increase in psychological capital, and a 19% increase in self-efficacy, larger than the 2% increase documented by previous studies using micro-interventions.

The qualitative data corroborates with the quantitative findings where the participants expressed a sense of empowerment at work. Respondents articulated how the program equipped them with tools to create their own strategies of cognitive reappraisal and view their work as a source of growth, accomplishment and pride (Chang 2020).
