FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Tyson Center for Faith and Spirituality in the Workplace, Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, is holding a lunch and learn session on the emerging role of faith and spirituality in the workplace from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20.

The program, which will be held in the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development on the University of Arkansas campus, is open to the faculty, staff, students and the public.

Judith Neal, director of the Tyson Center for Faith and Spirituality in the Workplace, will present the program. She will cover definitions of faith, religion, spirituality and how they intersect; the trends that support a growing interest in these underdeveloped dimensions of diversity and examples of how organizations are integrating these in the workplace, and guidelines and principles for incorporating these concepts in the workplace.

The cost of $25 includes the lunch and materials. Reservations are recommended and can be made by online by following this link.

“The mission of the Tyson Center is advance the state of research, practice and teaching in the field of faith and spirituality in the workplace,” Neal said. “We look forward to being a resource center for business leaders, academics, spiritual and faith leaders, and practitioners. We hope that this lunch and learn will be the first of many sessions to help stimulate discussion in business and the community about the role faith and spirituality plays.”
