The concept of meaning in life is fundamental in well-being research, yet its exploration in applied settings remains limited. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a meaning-focused intervention in the workplace. We implemented a six-week meaning in life intervention that targeted enhancing coherence, purpose, and significance in both personal and professional domains. The participants included 9 workers from the Spanish armed forces who voluntarily participated in the intervention. We utilized a case study design to evaluate the intervention's feasibility and acceptability. Attendance rates were high, with 77.78% of participants expressing overall satisfaction with the intervention. We analyzed pre- and post-intervention data on participants' levels of meaning in life, meaningful work, burnout, engagement, well-being, and depression. Significant changes were observed in 33% of the sample regarding meaning in life and in 22% concerning meaningful work, professional efficacy, and overall well-being. This study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of our meaning-focused intervention, suggesting its potential efficacy. Through case series studies, we have highlighted the importance of cultivating meaning in life as an essential skill in today's world, crucial for maintaining robust mental health in the face of adversities.
