Abstract

Religion and spirituality are an important aspect of history. As will be stated in this document, religion and spirituality are involved in almost every part of history. Individuals who have religious and spiritual beliefs continuously strive to incorporate these into the workplace. Through the analysis of what religion and spirituality are, it will be explained how these tie into the workplace. The purpose of this analysis is to describe how social workers' view religion in their workplaces currently. This is compared to individual beliefs, generic workplaces, and workplaces that are similar to social work. In conclusion, the structure of social work education and training will be explained. I analyze these topics to increase knowledge and compare information about religion and spirituality in workplace situations especially social work.
