Poor general health, low awareness and high levels of anxiety are factors that affect the performance of employees in their daily lives. Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) is a contextual therapy that teaches the participant to feel the comfortable and uncomfortable experiences in order for them to live a full life in the field of work, health, among other areas. The present study sought to increase general health and mindful awareness, as well as to decrease anxiety in 15 employees of a company. For this purpose, three two-hour sessions of ACT were provided. Participants were assessed for general health with the GHQ-28 test, for mindfulness with the MAAS and for anxiety with the AAQ-2 both before and after each of the three sessions. Significant differences were found in the GHQ and MAAS scores, but not in the AAQ-2 before and after receiving treatment with ACT. A moderate effect size was also found on the GHQ-28 scores (G=0.64), a large effect size on the MAAS (G=0.81) and a mild effect size on the AAQ-2 (D=.44). With this research, it was concluded that acceptance and commitment therapy seems to generate an increase in participants' general health and mindfulness, but not a significant decrease in anxiety.
