Acceptance and commitment training as emotional support for employees

The article concerns Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), which can be used as emotional support for employees especially in the face of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee wellbeing were discussed. Then, six elements of acceptance and commitment training, that help to develop psychological flexibility, are described: defusion, acceptance, contact with the present moment, values, committed action, self-as-context. The concept of ACT has also been compared with the concept of emotional intelligence. Finally, the benefits of acceptance and commitment training in the workplace, confirmed by research and experiments, are presented.
