MAKING A DIFFERENCE AT WORK

How YOU can integrate your spirituality with your work

Peabody, MA—“Tom would talk with Jesus as he drove to work every day. Then when he parked the car, he would say, ‘Well, ’bye Jesus; see you at five o’clock,’ and leave him in the car during the work day. Expressing his personal faith at work would be unthinkable.”

“David went home from work one day shortly after 9/11, and told his wife about the Muslim woman who works with him. She was holding her prayer rug, looking for a safe, quiet, obscure place to pray. No such place was designated in the workplace, so he helped her to find an appropriate place.”

These are true stories from Workplace Spirituality: A Complete Guide for Business Leaders  by Nancy Smith, where real people needed and wanted a way to live out their spirituality at work.

Sometimes people are able to integrate their spirituality with their work, especially when they are self-employed. It’s never easy, but it’s harder when you aren’t your own boss or when you are a mid-level manager caught between the needs of those in your department and the mandates of senior management.

Workplace Spirituality: A Complete Guide for Business Leaders can help. From the Introduction:

“Here you will learn some of the essential traits of spiritual individuals and the job-related behaviors that should result from those traits.

“Here you will read about some of the companies that have been recognized for excellence in one or more areas of Workplace Spirituality. Some of the same companies may be failing miserably in another area. Businesses are like human beings in that respect – it is very difficult for any one company to ‘get it all right.’

“Here you will learn the underlying business theories and ethical issues that decision-makers face every day. These new understandings will enable you to take new, informed approaches to your work.

“Here you will also learn the difference between management and leadership and you will be given some tools to become a spiritual leader in your own workplace.

“YOU  have the power to help make your workplace one that is fulfilling and productive, that reduces turnover, and that encourages new ideas and insights from inspired employees.”
