Spiritual Health: A Workplace Issue (video)

24 Jul, 2025

McKinsey Health Institute finds that for a “modern understanding of health, spiritual health is not a ‘nice to have’ but a core dimension, along with physical, mental, and social health.”

They define spiritual health as having a sense of meaning and purpose in life, a connection to something larger than oneself, and a sense of belonging.

This is not a small problem affecting just a few. A recent Harvard study found that nearly 3 in 5 young adults (58%) report lacking “meaning or purpose” in their lives.

The Religious Freedom & Business Foundation’s Faith-Friendly Workplace ‘REDI’ Index includes providing for spiritual health as one of the best practices for workplaces to benchmark.

For insights on addressing this crisis that adversely impacts workplaces and the rising generation of future workers, watch discussion with Patrick Regan, OBE. Patrick is an Honorary Fellow at the London South Bank University for his contribution towards justice and well-being.
