Creativity development inside organizations. Benefits for an employer and employees.
How engaging in creative practices is beneficial to employees and employers
Importance of creative practices in the workforce
Practicality is an important skill to have and hone as an employee, but practicality is nothing without creativity. The most successful ideas come from those who can use their imagination and think creatively. Creativity is the idea that you sell, and though practicality may help you sell it, without a creative idea there is nothing to be sold.
Creativity and practicality go hand in hand; one cannot coexist without the other, which is why it is so important to nourish your mind with artistic practices for example, whether it be painting, crochet, sketching, etc.
Pretty much anything that stimulates the mind and challenges your creative thinking skills and the way you look at things is extremely beneficial to your career. Having a creative mind able to generate ideas is what may give you your next big break and keep existing businesses afloat due to a creative mind being able to generate ideas and adapt regardless of the industry or times.

How creative practices make you more employable
Creativity can also help you stand out against the crowd. In a world of long-drawn-out CVs and portfolios, the ones that are often most memorable are the ones that can wake up the employer’s mind from back-to-back mundane credentials.
Creative activities are also scientifically proven to improve critical thinking, stimulating multiple areas of the brain and enhancing cognitive flexibility similarly to how you train your body to be more flexible and improve mobility, but instead you're training your mind to be able to think broadly.
Artistic activities train the mind to be able to think more efficiently and generate ideas more outside the box, which is an extremely employable skill that most employers look for no matter the kind of industry.

How creative practice improves quality of work/mental benefits
Art is often a used practice in therapy because it's beneficial for a wide variety of reasons. Such as reduced stress and increased dopamine levels leading to higher levels of motivation, satisfaction, and self-esteem, which are all essential components for a successful and fulfilling career.
Art can also help to perfect work-life balance. Working too much and not engaging in fun activities can lead to a lack of motivation, apathy, and, in worse cases, depression, which is why it is so important to participate in art activities because they allow you to break the confines of a repetitive/boring work life, which also allows you to work to the best of your ability due to there never being a lack of motivation.
