Spiritual consultants in US companies

Peace Times 10

The spiritual consultant has arrived in the workplace! According to a very fashionable tendency among American companies who are developing their employees spiritual life, a better working climate is noted which increases productivity.

The Elf Atochem North America, World Bank and Lucent Technologies are among the first large groups to have brought in a staff of spiritual consultants.

A branch of Elf Atochem - itself a branch of the French petrol company Elf Aquitane - has given full merit to «Inner Work» for saving them over two and a half million dollars in operation costs, by teaching employees to apply spiritual values to their working environment.

Martin Rutte, founder of Livelihood in Santa Fe, New Mexico admitted that, at the beginning, employees following spiritual courses are rather sceptic; however, they do gradually realise over time the difference when God is present in the workplace.
