OVER-WORKED, DISILLUSIONED WORKERS ARE DEMANDING MORE FROM THEIR JOBS

Workers want to integrate their spirituality into their work

Peabody, MA—Survey after survey indicates that U.S. workers are disillusioned with the scandals in business ethics, distrusting of employers and disappointed in corporate failures to live up to pension promises. They are also more interested in spirituality than in the past and are seeking to integrate their spirituality with their worklife.

In Workplace Spirituality: A Complete Guide for Business Leaders, author Nancy R. Smith  explains that sometimes the economy makes it necessary for workers to keep quiet about their dissatisfaction and desires. But as they have had to accept the end of job security and have learned to take their careers into their own hands, workers have begun to seek out a different kind of workplace. They want a decent salary, but they also want the business they work for to be run ethically. They want business practices that will preserve the environment for generations to come. They want to be seen as human beings, not merely human “resources.” And they want a spiritually friendly workplace where they can bring their whole selves, be true to their own values, and make a satisfying contribution to the business.

Judi Neal, Executive Director of the Association for Spirit at Work and founder of the International Spirit at Work Awards, praises Smith’s book: “This is the book on spirituality in the workplace we've all been  waiting for; short, to the point, and eminently practical.  Nancy Smith has been a significant contributor to the spirit at work community for a long time, and this book will inform, inspire, and guide you to effectively integrate your spiritual values with work that is meaningful and rewarding.”

Smith’s experience includes 20 years as a technical writer and manager, along with extensive experience in ministry, teaching, and spiritual coaching and direction. For the past several years she has researched issues related to spirituality in the workplace and maintained the website www.WorkplaceSpirituality.info.
