Occasionally, I’ve witnessed an employee facing a crisis that grieves me. I want to help, but sometimes it’s more than I can do personally.  

Fortunately, there are possible solutions like establishing employee assistance programs. A Corporate Assistance Program I’m familiar with allows the company and team members to donate money to a fund designed to help employees through crises and life’s difficulties. 

I believe corporate generosity should begin with our own employees and their families. 

1 Timothy 5:8 teaches, “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 

Companies have a similar responsibility as the head of a family. An employee assistance program can be part of the solution of providing for the needs of employees.
