Many businesses directly practice Christian principles in the workplace. Hobby Lobby, for example, closes its hundreds of stores on Sunday, donates Christian counseling services, and buys holiday ads promoting the Christian faith. The head of the family-owned business, David Green, says, “We’re Christians and we run our business on Christian principles.” Responding to employees’ personal and spiritual needs and sometimes fulfilling the religious convictions of the owners, many U.S. companies provide on-the-job chaplains. We should note, however, that the growing spirituality movement in business often does not explicitly involve religion at all. Rather, managers may see spirituality as an expression of the whole person and a part of the broader search for meaning in life. Business, they think, must acknowledge the soul to maximize performance.
