WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT ISQ?

 

ISQ answers the query "does the company walk its talk?" It answers whether their avowed values, vision, mission, and, objectives, become real thru the company's policies, systems and structures, and, programs. The business model for ISQ is VVMO = PSP.

 

"Spirituality is Walking the Talk."

 

 

 

"Spirituality is not religiosity. It is your relationship with your God. Spirituality spells who you are as a person. It is an expression of what you value in you, which you want to preserve and share with others, especially with those you care for and whose opinion matter."
-- Sabsy Palanca, Author, "ISQ: Living One’s Values in the Workplace"

"For me, spirituality, trite as it may be, rests in three things: in shalom, peace; in sitting down for Shabbat at the table over warm bread, with wine and blessings; and in the wisdom of silence - that prayer that comes without identifiable words but which forces us, in our barest moments, to think, or not, about what fills the void."

-- Martin Rotte, President, Livelihood

 

"What would a more spiritual workplace mean for people? It would mean that work would move from merely being a place to get enough money to survive — from just earning our daily bread — to being a place of livelihood. By livelihood I mean a place where we both survive and are fully alive. We are alive in that our spirit fully expresses itself. And through our contribution, we allow other people's spirits to be nourished and to flourish. Livelihood has, at its core, three meanings for work: survival (you're alive), enlivening of the individual Self (you're aliveness), and enlivening of the collective Self (their aliveness)."
