Spirituality in the Workplace

Tuesday, September 16th, 2025

A recent article from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) highlights a component that some organizations may overlook when searching for solutions to support workplace well-being: spirituality.

When embraced inclusively, spirituality can be a powerful tool for supporting both the emotional and psychological needs of individuals.

According to SHRM, organizations that acknowledge and support spiritual wellness experience benefits like reduced stress, greater resilience, and deeper connection among team members. Spirituality in this context isn’t about promoting one faith or religion, it’s about creating purpose, empathy, and ethical care for others. When people feel valued for their whole selves, trust grows, fostering a company culture that is more supportive, safe, and inclusive.

At Safe Gatherings, we see a clear connection between this and our mission. Protecting children, youth, and vulnerable adults isn’t only about background checks, training, and policies. It’s also about creating environments where people feel respected, supported, and empowered to speak up.

By combining practical safety measures with a culture that values overall well-being and purpose, organizations can build communities where everyone feels both safe and connected. Our abuse prevention training, clergy ethics courses, and policy tools are designed to support that vision; helping leaders model integrity, strengthen trust, and reduce risk.
