McLaughlin Corinne: "Spirituality at Work" The Bridging Tree Summer Vol 1 Iss 2 (Lifebridge New York 1998)

"Growing numbers of business people want their spirituality to be more than just faith and belief -- they want it to be practical and applied -- to bring heaven down to earth. They want to bring their whole selves to work -- body mind and spirit. Many business people are finding that the bottom line can be strengthened by embodying their values-- “doing well by doing good.” ... People at all levels in the corporate hierarchy increasingly want to nourish their spirit and creativity and to bring a greater sense of meaning and purpose into their work life." [Quote p.11]

Spiritual values that are widely embraced in business include integrity honesty accountability quality cooperation service intuition trustworthiness respect justice and service. Perhaps spirituality is not so much “the answer” to corporate problems but rather a way to prompt an inquiry about them." [Quote p.11]
