Yoruba Artistic Traditions as Therapeutic Tools: Unveiling the Healing Potential for Employee Trauma Recovery and Well-being
In contemporary
society, employees face numerous challenges related to their well-being and
emotional health, often grappling with the aftermath of trauma and its impact
on their lives. This study delves into the profound healing potential of Yorùbá
(an ethnic group in Nigeria) group artistic traditions in aiding employees’
trauma recovery and promoting overall well-being. Recognizing the significance
of traditional art forms in the Yorùbá culture, this research explores their
therapeutic applications in a modern context. The prevalent problem in today's
workforce is the growing concern for employees’ mental and emotional health
following traumatic experiences. Addressing this, the study raises three
pivotal research questions: (1) How can Yorùbá artistic traditions serve as
therapeutic tools for employees, aiding in trauma recovery and fostering
well-being? (2) What are the profound implications of incorporating Yorùbá
artistic traditions into employee support systems and wellness programs within
organizational settings? (3) How can organizations effectively integrate Yorùbá
artistic traditions to enhance employee resilience, productivity, and overall
workplace satisfaction? Employing a comprehensive methodology involving a
thorough review of relevant literature and traditional newspapers, the study
presents compelling findings. Yorùbá artistic traditions encompass a rich
tapestry of healing elements deeply ingrained in their cultural fabric. Art
forms such as dance, music, storytelling, and visual arts are recognized for
their potential to facilitate emotional expression, healing, and resilience
among individuals recovering from trauma. The conclusions drawn from this
research emphasize the vital role of Yorùbá artistic traditions as therapeutic
tools for employee trauma recovery and enhancement of overall well-being.
Integrating these traditions into workplace wellness initiatives can
significantly contribute to a more supportive and empathetic work environment.
