Mind the Gap: The Link Between Mindfulness and Performance at Work Needs More Attention

The concept of mindfulness has become the topic of heated debates among scholars and practitioners alike. Hyland, Lee, and Mills's ( 2015 ) focal article has an ambitious goal: distilling how mindfulness fits into workplace research and practice.

Unfortunately, the authors fall short of their aspiration to produce a comprehensive overview of the link between workplace mindfulness and performance. We outline three points that we find may have helped the authors achieve their main objective.
