5. Do you think your organisation has been successful in combining spirituality with
business?
a. If yes, explain how it was possible?
Yes
This was possible because Organizational involvement contributes to an individual's
commitment to the organization, so that each person has the basic and specific actions
depending on each individual's commitment to the organization. The fulfillment of
employees' and the community's spiritual needs is strongly related to employee
involvement with the company. Looking at the value of spirituality at the place of
employment, the concept was embraced by both workers and employers.
b. If no, explain why it was not possible?
6. What do you think made your organisation decide to combine spirituality with
business?
Evidence shows that there are many advantages of workplace spirituality programmes.
Thus, spin-offs contribute to better personal health and psychological well-being,
employee engagement, productivity and reduced absenteeism are improved
Spirituality in the workplace is often shown to reduce staff turnover levels, to start. One
explanation for this is that leaders with spiritual values are judged to be more effective
as leaders. Leaders' studies considered to be more successful show that they are
increasing job satisfaction, inspiration, efficiency and income – as stated earlier. These
are some of the main benefits of working spirituality with my organization motivated to
combine spirituality with business

7. Does your organisation face challenges in combining spirituality with business?
a. If yes, mention a few challenges
The first challenge comes from the immaterial aspect of spirituality. Spirituality is a
state of interaction with the inner selves with high ideals and morality in which
individuals find a sense and purpose in life. The intangible aspect of organizational
spirituality causes the workers difficulty in assimilating and internalizing it. They
sometimes equate it with religion, and feel the proselytism threat. Organizations need to
differentiate between faith and spirituality first. Religion talks about a particular system
of beliefs, rituals, ideals, and ceremonies. Spirituality, however, involves the virtues of
the human spirit such as devotion, sincerity, kindness, tolerance and harmony.
Spirituality in the workplace will fail if it isn't authentic. Spirituality programs in the
workplace should be centric to employees. Ineffective and short-lived projects
introduced as a marketing or management tool.

Avoid acts that harm individuals, organizations, at all levels and at all costs, to
your knowledge. Obviously, we cannot participate entirely in activities that have a
negative effect. Instead, turn our organization, step by step, into one that workers
will be proud of. One that they wish to show off.
Know your staff, and what's triggering them. There is no other simple way but to
ask them. It will churn out many wonderful things and your people will feel
appreciated and thank you for your concern.
Accept that people are spiritually and consciously at different levels. Agree also
that some will welcome the efforts of spirituality in the workplace warmer than
others. That way you stop it being another mask to wear, and that way the leaders
tend to enjoy it.
