On Multinational Companies turning to Spirituality

By

Times of India has got and interesting post on the subject – “Pinstripes take a breat” by Neelima Mahajan. No idea what ‘breat’ means guess it’s a typo. Well, they might change it soon.
The article talks about the return of Companies to Spirituality or similar methods after losing way in the 1980s and 90s.

Some excerpts
"Companies have realized that throwing financial incentives at employees will only take them so far,’’ says Arun Wakhlu, MD, Pragati Leadership Institute.”Money cannot be the only motivation—it wears off after a while. The key is to inspire people from within. So that they feel they are doing meaningful work and feel part of a community.’’


So is everyone accepting spirituality?
The other side of the story is that many organizations still view spirituality with skepticism. The reason? They associate it with religion. But those who encourage it at the workplace feel that this is an unfortunate misreading, and that spirituality is nothing but an internal value system that one can benefit from.
These things should happen naturally. Inspirational talks fade away soon. It is for each individual to know what he/she needs and act accordingly.
