Corporate Chaplains in the Workplace

Corporate Chaplains in the Workplace

00:00 /

Richard Buckley/Corporate Chaplains of America

People spend more time at work than anywhere else. But just because they go to work doesn’t mean they’ve left their worries at home. Anxieties crowd out focused work time. Hospital visits create mounting unpaid days off. Illness and death devastate families and burden employees with skyrocketing health care costs.

Employees aren’t the only ones who suffer during crisis. Time after time, employers repeat stories of inadequate workplace support programs and feelings of helplessness.

Corporate Chaplains of America (CCA) brings care and compassion to the workplace, where it is needed most, and where it can make a meaningful difference. Because of their “boots-on-the-ground” approach to ministry, CCA can care for those who need a trusted objective friend and confidant and those who can’t bear their burdens alone anymore.

CCA employs primarily full-time, long-term chaplains who combine workplace experience with professional chaplaincy training. Their proven process incorporates management principles that provide employee support with the greatest convenience to the CEO/business owner and with the maximum impact for the employee.
