In an age when home offices, hybrid work arrangements and blurred boundaries between work and personal life are the norm.

Spirituality in business transcends traditional management methods by acknowledging the inner lives of workers, promoting their personal growth and fostering genuine community connections.

Despite its benefits, integration risks becoming a convenient excuse for businesses to shift the responsibility for stress and burn-out onto employees instead of addressing systemic issues.

The concept of bringing one's "whole self" to work is a cornerstone of the Industry 5.0 concept promoted by the European Commission .

The idea is to create an environment where people can align their deepest motivations with their work.

This ideal is noble in concept but raises complex questions about which aspects of our selves are appropriate to bring into the workplace.

The integration of spirituality into business requires genuine commitment.
