Spiritual wellbeing is a no brainer

The term ‘workplace spirituality’ was not around years ago. But in the 21^st century more and more workplaces are adopting a spiritual side for their workers, understanding that the benefits far out way any negatives.

Studies have shown that workplace spirituality encourages employees to be more ‘authentic’ at work. The flow on effect is increased levels of productivity, improved work quality, and better employee engagement.

It also promotes job satisfaction, reduces stress levels, improves work-life balance, and enhances workplace relationships. People’s mental health is also a big winner while a positive work ethic among employees leads to stronger commitment and integrity.

As people like to be acknowledged and feel their contribution is making a difference, simple things like celebrating birthdays or important anniversaries with a morning tea or a lunch can make the world of difference. Even a manager’s praise for an individual amongst his or her colleagues for a job well done can be effective and beneficial.

Other advantages of workplace spirituality are team cohesion and employee satisfaction by fostering a sense of purpose and interconnectedness among workers. It can also promote acceptance, respect and understanding, resulting in a supportive and harmonious workplace.

Businesses can foster workplace spirituality by encouraging mindfulness and meditation, facilitating team-building activities that focus on shared values and mission, promoting transparency and trust, and by creating a supportive and inclusive work environment.

Allowing more flexible work schedules and personal time for reflection also supports the spiritual wellbeing of individuals.
