If God Worked Where You Do

Bringing peace to His people is God’s only business. Current business trends cause employees to feel that peace is impossible. We seldom take into account the effects of our employment on our lives. We have shifted from single to double breadwinner households, just to make ends meet.

Not only are our children affected, our entire lives are affected by the additional stresses of our work based lifestyles. We complain about rising health care costs, but don’t associate the increases with out stressful lives. Employers require more and more of every employee with most employees nearing the breaking point. Customer service and employee satisfaction are at an all time low. Loyalty of both employer and employee is almost non-existent. This translates to poor customer service which in turn affects our profit margins.

A return to properly valuing our employees will bring forth cost reductions which we failed to calculate into our overly intellectualized management strategies. A satisfied employee lowers health care, hiring, legal, training, lost sales, insurance and other related costs. Satisfied employees create satisfied customers. Take care of your employees and they will take care of your customers. If you think that customers are number one, try running a business without employees.
