In today’s fast-paced corporate world, stress, burnout, and dissatisfaction at work have become all too common. Employees are constantly juggling deadlines, job pressures, and personal responsibilities, often feeling disconnected from their work. But what if the workplace could be a space of meaning, connection, and inner growth?
Dr. Anshul Gupta, a seasoned HR professional turned researcher and author, believes that work should be more than just a paycheck—it should nourish the soul. Through her books The Spiritual Indian Corporate and The Corporate Spirituality, she introduces the concept of Workplace Spirituality, a fresh approach that helps employees feel more engaged, valued, and fulfilled in their jobs.
From HR Desk to Spiritual Workspaces
Dr. Anshul’s interest in workplace spirituality isn’t just academic—it’s personal. With years of experience in human resources, she saw firsthand how employees struggled with work-life balance, job dissatisfaction, and lack of purpose. This led her to explore deeper questions about the role of spirituality at work. She pursued a doctorate in Human Resources, conducted extensive research, and even founded TheCorporateSpirituality.com, a platform offering coaching, certification, and consultation on workplace spirituality.
But what exactly is Workplace Spirituality? It’s not about religion or rituals—it’s about bringing meaning, purpose, and connection into the workplace. It means working in an environment where employees feel aligned with their company’s values, build meaningful relationships, and experience a sense of inner peace while doing their jobs.
Why Workplace Spirituality is the Missing Piece in Corporate India
Corporate India is evolving, but it’s also facing challenges. Employees are overwhelmed, constantly looking for better opportunities, and often feel disconnected from their work. Traditional HR practices, while useful, don’t always address the emotional and spiritual needs of employees.
Dr. Anshul argues that organizations need to go beyond salaries, promotions, and perks. They need to engage the spirit of employees—helping them find deeper meaning in their work, fostering genuine connections, and creating an environment where they feel valued not just as workers, but as human beings.
Her book The Corporate Spirituality offers practical models to implement spirituality in the workplace, along with real-life examples and solutions to common corporate challenges. It provides a roadmap for businesses looking to create a more engaged and satisfied workforce.
