Abstract

It is a bit difficult to imagine a high profile CEO, who is a no-nonsense person with an eye for meeting deadlines and targets, trying to attain Corporate Nirvana. However Workplace Spirituality has gained significance recently because people today are not attracted only to monetary benefits but also believes in nourishing the soul at their workplace where they spend major part of their day. It is believed that Spirituality can help encompass belief in immaterial realities or the transcendent nature of the world. These values and investment in improving the inner conscious of the people in the organization will pay off as they will form the base to overcome the global management crisis and will eventually bring about human prosperity. Many Organizations who had suffered debacles and crisis due to non-ethical behavior of their employees and there is proof how the situation improved due to the impact of workplace spirituality. Thus we see that sensitizing the staff towards spirituality can reap huge benefits for the Organization. The paper is a content analysis based paper and the researcher has used secondary data to understand and dwell into the significance of practicing Workplace Spirituality. The origin of the concept, its benefits to the Corporate as well as different the spirituality models and methods adopted by various different organizations are understood. Researcher has tried to understand why many organizations and their CEO's have made such programmes compulsory and how the entire organization structure benefits when employees have a spiritual bent of mind. The research paper shows how spiritual people are more loyal, dedicated, and passionate committed employers and employees.
