At an individual level, this translates to helping individuals/employees learn to listen to their inner voice, adapt to new workplace demands, integrate ethics and values with workplace operations, accept social responsibility and shift from competition to collaboration. At an organizational level, it encompasses building a company company culture where human needs of connectedness, meaning and purpose are fulfilled.

Workāsanā’s partnership with OCAI online and Positive Culture Academy allows it to weave the idea of workplace spirituality into the organization’s culture fabric by connecting Indian wisdom and Western research.
