There are many benefits to incorporating meditation into the workplace, especially for people who want to practice more spiritual management techniques. Technalink has managed to bring many of these practices into our own business successfully.
One such technique is meditation. Some may be reluctant to make meditation a widespread, company practice, fearing it will be very disruptive in the same way introducing new hardware or software is, but the truth is, there’s more than one way to bring it aboard quietly.
It Doesn’t Have To Be A Class
A common misperception about meditation is that it will require a lot of space and take a chunk of productivity out of everybody’s schedule to make time for it. While meditation classes at a gym or some other location operate this way, it doesn’t have to be the case for a company that’s serious about spiritual management.
Meditation can—and is—practiced in some companies as a communal event, with its own dedicated space and time in a daily work schedule. For some companies, the time and space investment is worth it for the corporate culture they are pursuing. However, for others, meditation can be a personal activity.
Do It At A Convenient Time
Meditation is always a personal activity, and it doesn’t require a 30 or 45 minute dedicated block to achieve tangible results. Rather than conducting a “class” or “session” where everyone must stop work to attend, it’s possible to let people try at their own pace.
For example, meditation can be done at a desk, for just a few minutes, a short break between moving from one task to another. These are simple techniques that don’t require any specific positions, clothing, or accessories. However, even smaller accessories, such as mala prayer beads, are unobtrusive and don’t get in the way.
By keeping the techniques small, short, and simple, meditation can be quickly incorporated into any workplace for better spiritual management that doesn’t compromise on the workday itself.
