Kahlil Gibran Said: "Work is Love Made Visible"

"Today people are finding that there’s more to life—and business—than profits alone. Money as the single bottom line is increasingly a thing of the past. In a post-Enron world, values and ethics are an urgent concern. The hottest buzz today is about a “triple bottom line,” a commitment to “people, planet, profit.” Employees and the environment are seen as important as economics. Some people would say it’s all about bringing your spiritual values into your workplace. A recent poll by KRC Research for Spirituality published November 17, 2003 in USA Today found that 6 out of 10 people say workplaces would benefit from having a great sense of spirit in their work environment."

"What is spirituality in business? There’s a wide range of important perspectives. Some would say that it’s simply embodying their personal values of honesty, integrity, and good quality work. Others would say it’s treating their co-workers and employees in a responsible, caring way. For others, it’s participating in spiritual study groups or using prayer, meditation, or intuitive guidance at work. And for some, it’s making their business socially responsible in how it impacts the environment, serves the community or helps create a better world."
