At a recent conference, Stephen Phelan, Movement Mortgage’s Chief Pastoral Officer, shared three common employee needs within the workplace. Let’s address the second need – having friends during a crisis.
As an employer, you have the best opportunity to show that you are a friend that cares during an employee’s family, financial, or medical crisis.
A friend of mine had an employee in Mexico kidnapped by a drug cartel! His team found ways to support this employee’s family, and they worked closely with authorities to bring their employee home safely.
Proverbs 18:24 teaches, “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
Employers look for proactive approaches to being a close friend to your employees during their possible crises.
