Why chaplains in the workplace?

Work is a very important part of many peoples' lives. Apart from being
a source of income, it is where relationships are formed and reformed,
dreams are fulfilled and shattered, peoples' lives are shaped, communities
are moulded. Work can be a very positive experience and it can be a source of stress and unhappiness. And people at work are people, with lives full of all the everyday stories of joy and sorrow, hope and despair.

Faith leaders have long been accepted as people who walk with the
people of their community, in the ups and downs of their daily lives, offering comfort and hope in times of trouble, encouragement and thanksgiving in times of joy and not a little sprinkling of wisdom in all times.
