The foreign countries are making effort to help employees manage personal & organizational stress through providing employee assistance program consisting of multi-components. However, our country lacks such a system. The purpose of this study is to perform a preliminary study for developing an employee assistance program (EAP) based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). The preliminarily developed program consists of 4 sessions, with duration of 90 minutes for each session. Each session consists of video clips of KBS TV documentary entitled "Meditation makes mind relaxed" & a mindful yoga, MBSR programs, and some components of CT (cognitive therapy). The results of the pilot study were shown, in which 3 cases were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Recommendations for implementing this EAP based on MBSR were suggested.
