www.ccspr.org
Is your Organization infected by LEE virus too???

Higher rates of absenteeism
Higher rates of staff turnover
Reduced productivity
Decreased job satisfaction
Rising healthcare costs Lower levels of organizational commitment and loyalty
LACK OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
www.ccspr.org
The current corporate set-up severely lacks a holistic framework to tackle the employee engagement challenges
3
Inspite of all the technological progress, global hyper connectivity, instant access to knowledge , the results of
multiple Gallop polls in US still shows:
Unhappy employees cost the American economy up to $ 350 billion annually in lost productivity
7 in 10 US workers are not engaged with their workplaces
53% of American workers are unhappy in their jobs
US companies spend as much as $ 759 billion on salaries annually for which they receive no apparent benefit
The situation is no better in other parts of the world People working in organizations world over cutting across NGO, Government and Public Sectors and private enterprises are increasingly feeling deprived of meaning in their work place This is translating into poor work productivity, extended work hours, job burnout and stress, health and psychological challenges Current business paradigms, leadership and motivation theories and practices have failed to solve these core issues
AN INTERESTING SITUATION
www.ccspr.org 4
OUR SOCIETY
Openly measures individual
usefulness by what we do with
extreme focus on producing results
Powerful obsession with doing results
in lack of energy to contemplate the
true nature of our being, in knowing
who we are
OUR CORPORATE TRAINING COURSES
Consistent focus on teaching the
knowledge, skills and abilities to
succeed in DOING the work required
Great value is placed upon one’s ability to enjoy time off work with
Offsite and Team Building exercise
RESULTS PRESENT SCENARIO
Higher rates of absenteeism
Higher rates of staff turnover
Reduced productivity
Decreased job satisfaction
Rising healthcare costs
Lower levels of organizational commitment and loyalty
= Lack of Employee Engagement
Corporate world lately discovered that the pursuit of doing at the expense of being seldom yields any level of employee engagement…
In the past century, the corporate world has catered only towards developing Cognitive intelligence (which is about thinking) with recent involvement in Emotional intelligence (which is about feeling). There was no focus
on helping individuals in enhancing Spiritual intelligence (the art of being)
www.ccspr.org
An organization that focuses some of its resources on the development of spiritual intelligence sends a clear message to its employee base that it cares about each person as individuals (Dr. Andrew Thorn, Founder, Telios Corporation)
Corporations becoming ‘lean and meaningful’ leading to competitive advantage (HR Magazine, August 1998:46) – instead of simply ‘lean and mean’
Unlike I.Q, which computers have, and E.Q which exists in higher mammals, “S.Q” is uniquely human and the most fundamental of the three (Zohar & Marshall 2001).
Encouraging individuals to find meaning in work, cope with stress, encourage a democratic and community based organisation (Dehler and Welsh 1994, Biberman and Witty 1997)
It is linked to humanity’s need for meaning, an issue very much at the for front of people’s mind in the beginning of this century. (Zohar & Marshall 2001)
“

”
…thus, leading to an all new discipline for employee engagement model called WORKPLACE SPIRITUALITY
www.ccspr.org
Several studies show that in organizations that have introduced spirituality into the workplace
have witnessed:
The criticism appears invalid when the goal is limited to helping
employees find meaning in their work lives with scientific tools &
techniques
Like any other initiative, the pursuit of an organization to help employees develop & reach their potentials holistically face certain challenges
6
COMPATIBIITY
ARE SPIRITUALITY AND PROFITS COMPATIBLE?
BASIS: The issue of whether spirituality and profits are compatible objectives is certainly relevant for anyone in business. The evidence, although limited, indicates that the two objectives may be particularly compatible.
DO ORGANIZATIONS HAVE THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE SPIRITUAL VALUES ON THEIR EMPLOYEES?
BASIS: The potential for an emphasis on spirituality to make some employees uneasy is clearly present. Critics argue that organizations have no business imposing spiritual values on employees. This criticism is undoubtedly valid when spirituality is defined as bringing religion and God into the workplace.
LEGITIMACY
Improved productivity
Increased creativity
Better team performance
Reduced turnover
Greater satisfaction
www.ccspr.org
A growing number of organizations however are setting up the trend by embracing workplace spirituality, a breakthrough in employee engagement
7
WHAT DO ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS RECKIT AND COLEMAN, WIPRO, DABUR OR TATA TEA HAVE IN COMMON?
TOLERATION OF EMPLOYEE
EXPRESSION
TRUST AND OPENNESS
EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT
FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL
DEVELOPMENT
Organizational members know
why the organization exists
and what it values
Employers are valuable and need to be nurtured
to help them grow.
These characteristics also
include a sense of job security
The organization culture
encourages employees to be
themselves and to express their
moods and feelings without
guilt or fear of reprimand
Organizational member relationships are
characterized by mutual trust, honesty
and openness.
Employees are allowed to a
make work related decisions
that affect them, highlighting a
strong sense of delegation of
authority.
STRONG SENSE OF PURPOSE
HOLISTIC CORPORATE
Organizations that promote a
spiritual culture recognize that
employees have both a mind and a spirit, seek to
find meaning and purpose in their work, and
desire to connect with
other employees and
be part of a community.
www.ccspr.org
Although the core corporate spiritual center has the direct impact on each individual….
INDIVIDUAL
SELF AWARENESS – Knowledge of core strengths and weaknesses
SELF REGULATION - Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Adaptability
MOTIVATION - Drive, Commitment, Initiative, Optimism, Charisma
PERSONAL COMPETENCE – HOW WE MANAGE OURSELVES
SOCIAL COMPETENCE - HOW WE HANDLE RELATIONSHIPS
EMPATHY - awareness of other’s feelings and concerns
SOCIAL SKILLS - adeptness a inducing desirable responses, such as communication, conflict management, cooperation, and leadership
AN INDIVIDUAL IN A HOLISTIC WORKPLACE ARE MORE LIKELY TO DEMONSTRATE :
— Enhanced Teamwork (Mitroff & Denton, 1999; Neck & Milliman, 1994)
— Greater Kindness & Fairness (Biberman & Whitty, 1997)
— Increased Awareness of other Employees Needs (Cash & Gray, 2000)
— Increased Honesty and Trust within their Organizations (Brown, 2003; Krishnakumar & Neck, 2002)
— Higher Incidences of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (Nur & Organ, 2006)
— Express more Servant Leader Behavior (Beazley & Gemmill, 2006)
— More Sensitive to Corporate Social Performance (Giacalone, Paul & Jurkiewicz, 2005)

….the effect indirectly contributes to the overall organizational success

PROGNOSIS: The Center envisions a future in which corporate entities will undergo an orbital shift to being ‘Enlightened Enterprises’
16
Prevalent Ethics in management are at best the ‘Traffic Rules’, while CSpR intends to be the very skill of driving, enabling one to drive in Auto Pilot mode getting GPS guidance from the light house within
Driven by Spirit and fired by the Realization, Vision and reality of the existence of a larger Spirituo System, will eventually lead to a multi -dimensional abundance, holistic wealth creation and fulfillment, in consonance with the Spiritual principles - that govern all the living existence – material wealth included
With their ‘Corporate Conscience’ solidly invoked and firmly being in the driving seat, organizations will operate in alignment with larger purpose of existence.
They will be inspired to shape the corporate goals, and fine-tune and align them to larger goals of human existence.
Such a corporate transformation will herald, for individuals, a working career with a ‘Conscious Corporate’ – a blissful pilgrimage leading to all round abundance – not just prosperity
