What is Full Engagement Training (FET)?

MindBridge Corporate Wellness Training exists due to the founder’s several decade’s exposure to numerous Japanese and foreign capital firms of all sizes and industries. During this time, a constant thread of workforce feedback has been that of struggles with distractions, stress, and lack of fulfillment.

This is the impetus for MindBridge’s Full Engagement Training (FET), which exists to help employees find focus and enjoyment in the workplace and other areas of life.

FET aims to help employees disengage from unhelpful thoughts and feelings, engage with their values, and thereby improve their focus and enjoyment of work and life.

FET is unique in the Japanese market due to its content, scope, and impact, and is beneficial for both management and staff. Though new to Japan, FET has seen massive success globally, particularly in the US and the UK.

It is based on techniques from the highly successful Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but is distinctly an employee training program and not a form of therapy. FET is called foundational training, because the ability to pay attention and be engaged comes before all else.

How FET Works

Much of FET’s principles are derived from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a highly regarded and empirically proven mental health method.

Some things to keep in mind:

While FET borrows from ACT, FET is training and not therapy. FET’s techniques include leveraging mindfulness to anchor attention in the present moment, enhancing awareness.

Participants practice noticing their thoughts, moods, and bodily sensations, and identifying mental barriers like limiting beliefs, resentments and stressors. This is how we form mindfulness tools that we use to manage unwanted thoughts and feelings so we can stay engaged in what is important. We call this skill psychological flexibility.

Values card sorts and values driven goal exercises are administered. The mindfulness component works with values-driven action as awareness helps align one's actions with core values, encouraging purpose, motivation and well being.

Values

We leverage the added awareness we obtained in Session 1, along with some values inspiring questions and statements to perform a values card sort, choosing the values that most move and motivate us. We then choose a domain of life we feel most needs our attention, and apply our chosen values to it as we write a values statement of purpose and action.

3

Home Practice

Home practice is comprised of a daily mindful activity, a mindful exercise, and a values statement driven activity. A survey will be given following training, and a Zoom follow up call is scheduled for approximately one month after our training session, to go over questions, comments and observations related to your experiences.

Process Flow

Mindfulness

We begin productivity through wellness Full Engagement Training (FET) by engaging in four mindful activities. These activities have two purposes. One is to help prepare us with some of the processes and tools we may use in the fifth activity; meditation. The second purpose is to give us added awareness for the upcoming values session.

FET is unique in the industry for several reasons:

While FET is proven to be successful for companies of all sizes globally, it is not just for the workplace. FET addresses life’s whole wellness picture; the domains of work, relationships, health, leisure, and personal growth. Employees appreciate that this is coming from their employer, and employers are benefitted by improved employee well being and performance.

Another powerful factor in FET’s success is it’s use of targeted mindful tools. While a number of programs may incorporate meditation or mindful exercises--which are certainly good in their own right--FET in addition teaches the utilization of mindfulness based tools that help individuals manage unwanted thoughts or feelings.

The mindfulness tools, when combined with the values driven exercises, are useful in helping participants focus and do what matters.

Rates & Details

FET ranges from 3-9 hours. Many companies initially choose the first three-hour course, as it gives a good overview and introduction to mindfulness and values tools. Some companies choose 6 or 9 hours, and interact with subsequent sessions soon after the first.

Others wait a period of time before re-engaging with later courses. Either way all courses are effective, and can incorporate either new or former group members.
