Many will draw distinctions between finding your purpose and tapping into spirituality. And many more are quick to point out that they are spiritual but not religious. This predictable definitional dynamic makes me doubtful that adoption of purpose finding strategies will be the gateway to unlocking the ambivalence and stigma related to sharing one's faith in company settings. Drawing from tenets that drive social epidemics, wellness professionals and faith leaders travel in 'closed circles' and it will take 'connectors' with ties in both circles to spread the idea that workplace wellness and faith traditions can have positive synergies. Healthy People 2030 defines health and well-being as "how people think, feel, and function-at a personal and social level-and how they evaluate their lives as a whole." This editorial describes components of faith friendly organizations and argues that employee resource groups and trends in diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives could be a catalyst for greater openness to including people's faith traditions as a part of bringing their whole selves to work.
许多人会区分找到人生目标和挖掘精神信仰。还有更多人会很快指出他们是有精神追求但无宗教信仰的。这种可预测的定义动态让我怀疑，采用寻找人生目标的策略是否会成为打破在公司环境中分享信仰时的矛盾心理和耻辱感的途径。从推动社会流行的原则出发，健康专家和信仰领袖在“封闭的圈子”中活动，只有在两个圈子都有联系的“联络人”才能传播这样的理念，即工作场所健康和信仰传统可以产生积极的协同作用。《2030 年健康规划》将健康和幸福定义为“个人和社会层面上人们的思维、感受和功能方式，以及他们对整体生活的评价”。本社论描述了信仰友好型组织的组成部分，并认为员工资源小组以及多样性、公平和包容倡议的趋势可能会成为更大程度地接受将人们的信仰传统作为他们全身心投入工作的一部分的催化剂。
