Heart to Heart Communications - Enriching Lives at Work.
What Is Spirituality?
  • Each person brings some beliefs about being human, about the purpose of life, about spiritual realities (including God/Higher Power) to every human circumstance, including work.

  • People are spiritual beings. A spiritual dimension is already present in all aspects of our lives, whether it is acknowledged or not.

  • Spirituality is the inborn desire and ability of every person to seek, open up to, and cooperate with a Presence within and beyond the human -- many call this Presence God, which others may call: Spirit, Higher Power, Divine, etc.

  • Many people come to experience and deepen their spirituality within a specific religion with certain beliefs, ways of worship, and moral codes. Others may develop a greater spiritual consciousness and commitment through diverse spiritually centered practices and communities.

  • Our spirituality lived well is meant to be the ultimate goal of our entire lives. Workplace spirituality refers to the ways we live our spirituality within our work. What we do in the workplace, why we do it, and how we do it ought to express and strengthen our spiritual well-being as individuals, as organizations and as a global family.

  • The question is not whether spirituality belongs in the workplace. The real question is whether business can thrive without spirit.
    We recognize when such a spirit is encouraged in our everyday work
    environments:
  • Work is regarded not simply as a job but as a way to make a positive difference for people and for the planet.
  • An atmosphere of integrity, trust, respect, responsibility, caring, and justice is strengthened.
  • Each worker is treated with dignity and empowered to be and do their best.
  • Barriers of fear, negativity, misunderstanding, disconnection are overcome.
  • Employee absenteeism, turnover, and possible litigation are lessened

Heart to Heart Communications is about strengthening the connections -- to our deeper selves, to core ethical values, to the meaning and purpose of our work, to one another, to God/Higher Power. It is about active spirituality -- a spirituality that influences how and why we do our daily tasks -- helping us to do our best.
 

 
 
 
 
"Spirituality is broadly inclusive, it embraces everyone.  Spirituality is universal and non-proselytizing in the sense that it does not promote a particular way of being spiritual.  It is inclusive in the best possible sense of the term.  It embraces everyone no matter what their age, beliefs, creed, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and so on."

--Ian I. Mitroff & Elizabeth A. Denton  A Spiritual Audit of Corporate America, 1999
