Abstract

Business owners and management teams are often tasked with making difficult prioritisation decisions. One difficult decision is how to balance the goals, objectives, and purpose of the organisation. This article details how spirituality is a critical component to work/life balance and how individual and organisational spirituality impact operations management. Balancing key areas of work and professional life become an important part of creating happy and mutually satisfying relationships. We have identified six critical elements of life balance that lead towards optimised productivity (in no order of significance): career, family, community, spiritual, health (includes sleep), and pleasure. Spirituality is one of the six components that must be defined, with a corresponding work and personal development plan, at an individual and organisational and operations management level.
