Summary:According to NPS, visitation has increased 65% in the past decade, growing from 2.6 million in 2007 to nearly 4.3 million visitors in 2016 (NPS n.d.). Research has shown that organizational commitment and work group cohesion are two factors that mitigate stress. [...]in this program, we provided activities that support work group cohesion, following Tuckman's model of organizational development (Tuckman 1965; Ulrich et al. 2010). [...]the general topic of mindfulness was discussed within the context of the Buddhist eight-fold path as another approach to cultivate one's contemplative faculty. [...]the sit spot and realistic goal-setting program was believed to be well-suited to Zion's unique park setting and the needs of the park staff.
