| Abstract | Spirituality in the workplace focuses on creating space for meaning, purpose, and interconnectedness within community. Evidence and research suggest spiritual values (i.e., mindfulness, compassion, transcendence, and meaningful work), through an enhancement of the motivation of the workforce, contribute to increases in productivity. Spirituality can be implemented through including spiritual values in policies, procedures, and business decisions. When evaluating an organizational success with executing spirituality efforts in a business, three themes can be seen throughout the organization: inclusivity, leadership, and implementation practices. This study will analyze the aspects of spirituality in Ouimet-Tomasso Corporation, a Canadian frozen food manufacturing company. It will define and research spirituality as a whole within an organization, the importance of inclusivity in spirituality efforts, leadership's impact on spirituality, and implementation practices. The case analysis will include a background of the company’s spirituality philosophies and evaluate its spirituality effectiveness within inclusion of all the employees' backgrounds, leadership of the organization, and practices implemented to represent the values expressed. |
