Abstract

The emergence of new skills has radically transformed the labor landscape and expectations towards human capital. These competencies demand new approaches or learning structures, where reskilling is integrated, both for current and future employees. From this necessity arises the initiative to develop a model that can benefit any organization considering implementing a reskilling strategy, aiming to update employees to efficiently perform in different roles and remain competitive in the job market. With the aim of presenting a mindfulness model designed to address organizational change from a humanistic perspective, a qualitative, descriptive, and non-experimental study was conducted. Data collected between 2000 and 2020 organized the study's background, while data from 2022 to 2024 were used to develop the model. Techniques such as surveys, documentary analysis, and focus groups were employed to gather information on workplace perception, change needs, and the utility of reskilling. The results revealed the four main phases that compose the model, highlighting the importance of open communication, personalized training, adaptation to change, and understanding of organizational change in the approach proposed by the Mindfulness Model. Although still in the process of development and improvement, it is expected that by implementing this model, organizations can experience improvements in efficiency, effectiveness, and harmony within their teams.
