Spirituality and Religion in the Workplace:
Creating a Compatible Environment for Spiritual and Religious Values and Practices

"Spiritual values are often the source of an organization's ability to adapt effectively to change, particularly during difficulty or crisis....adaptation based upon enduring spiritual values promotes behavior that is truly beneficial to customers, the organization, and the business system. The systems of operation that have the greatest probability for success in the 21 st century are those that are based upon the belief in the potential of the human spirit." - Dr. William Guillory of Innovations International.

Introduction:
Organizations are created and run by people. In any successful organization, employees need to be recognized, valued, respected and assured that they are welcome with all of the differences that they bring with them. This includes their religious and spiritual beliefs.

Intelligent organizations understand that, to retain their best talent and achieve high levels of productivity, all employees must feel they are able to bring their whole self to work. Ideal organizational cultures integrate humanistic core values with core business policies, decisions, functions and behaviors. They are cultures that support the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of their employees.
