The Birth of the Corporate Chaplain

Several years ago corporations awoke to the understanding that employees were their greatest resource. Without taking care of the employee's needs they lost valuable trained workers, training dollars and production. Their answer was the Employee's Assistants Programs. This took on several forms form a number to call to some unknown place where the employee could talk to someone they did not know, to the open door policy from the office of the CEO of the company. Neither of these worked very well for different reasons. Employees did not want to talk to someone they did not know and could not see. The open door policy while it worked soon filled up the valuable time of the CEO's office.

Thus was born the Corporate Chaplain, they came to the rescue, walking among the employees on site each week. The chaplains know the employees and win their trust. They take the load off of everyone from the CEO to the HR Department by going to the hospitals, attending or performing weddings and funerals, making the calls and tending to the needs of the employee and their families.
