    Faith in the Workplace

     
    http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week822/cover.html
    PBS examines the inroads of religion.
    2/7/2005

    Take a look at the org chart at Preferred Management, a home healthcare company in Indianapolis, and you will see that all department heads report to Jesus.

    As the separation of church and state appears to get blurrier in the United States, so too is the once largely inviolate separation of church and work. According to the PBS segment Religion and Ethics, which examines faith in the workplace, there are some 900 workplace ministries in the U.S., and the number is growing. But so too are complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from workers filing charges because of religious beliefs.

    The program, which can be seen on this site along with a transcript, offers several examples of smaller businesses that wear their beliefs on their work shirts, and what employees and customers have to say about it. HBS professor Laura Nash is interviewed.
