Spirituality in the corporate world is gaining interest. Three surveys found that 95% of Americans believe a corporation's purpose is more than profit, 39% consider ethics and values when investing, and 75% are likely to switch brands that support good causes. There is a focus on attributes like integrity, honesty, and social responsibility. Creating a supportive environment involves defining ourselves beyond job titles, emphasizing inner wisdom and service. Challenges include cultural differences, stress, and peer pressures. Spirituality can help address issues like insecurity and lack of mental calmness through principles of generosity, passion to serve, and contemplation.
