Most businesses recognise people as their most important asset. Good businesses invest significantly in the welfare of their employees, ensuring they are trained, resourced, motivated and
managed to do their job. But work is only a part of any
individual’s life. Workplace performance will always
be influenced by what else is
going
on in each
person’s life.
Good managers
recognise this.
What do chaplains in the workplace do?
Chaplains visit people in their place of work to offer friendship and to listen.
Their support is unconditional, non-judgemental, independent and confidential.
The role of the chaplain is complimentary to that of the manager and the
personnel / HR department. It is independent of the organisation and orientated
by their faith. However good, workplace relations are, there are always things
that people
don’t wish to share with their colleagues.
The chaplain is a trained, trustworthy confidant
with the time and willingness to listen. |
