Xerox Production Supervisor Jim Deese has to address the concerns of an employee who are uncomfortable with the company's "vision quests," or creative and religious retreats. Starting in the early 1990s, Xerox began conducting these vision quests as a means of invigorating creation and innovation in the organization, which had struggled over the years with product development and increasing rivalry.
Xerox and the Vision Quest Case Solution
Xerox has put hard efforts to improve its product, escalate workforce message, and enable workers to develop spiritually and hold a higher visualization, both work-related and personally. A number of studies have proven that incorporating some element of spirituality helps to generate a more happy and more creative workplace. Nevertheless, the employee, a professed atheist, is not comfortable with the business's other moderately spiritual practices and also the vision quests, and Deese must decide how to react.
