Corporate Chaplaincy Services
We proactively care for your employees thru onsite visits and "24-7-365" availability to provide deeply personal, strictly confidential and highly professional, extraordinary care. Our services are completely voluntary to engage ("opt-in") and are intentionally neutral from company operations to protect you and your beloved employees.
By optimizing your employee experience and satisfaction, you unlock their full potential and capabilities. This allows you to create a culture of empowerment, accountability and innovation to drive productivity and output. The well-being and happiness of your human resource talent impacts your bottom line results.
Our chaplains work to meet every employee right where they are, equipping them with helpful resources to mitigate distractions and reduce stress. The result? Greater focus and engagement in their work responsibilities! Harnessing their attention drives real results.
Most employers recognize that absenteeism and turnover can create a significant cost to an organization. Additionally, an employee who is focused on a personal problem, rather than on work, can be the cause of expensive errors or accidents. By proactively caring for the life, emotional, and spiritual needs of employees through chaplaincy services, employers can actually reduce overhead costs and save their organization money over time.
Offering ViaCordis’ Chaplaincy Services as an opt-in employee benefit provides a competitive edge when it comes to quality talent acquisition and retention. Organizations offering chaplaincy services report much higher employee satisfaction than those offering mere traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), simply because of the proactive and relational nature of corporate chaplaincy. Some report a jump from 4% to 70% usage of their various programs (see Corporate Chaplaincy Consulting) and a commensurate improvement in their employee retention and longevity. Phenomenal!
By many estimates, 33% of an executive’s time is spent responding to various crises (see Corporate Chaplains of America). ViaCordis chaplains can help shoulder this burden by providing proactive relational efforts, preventative care, informed referrals, online accessible resources and emergency response. Perhaps most importantly, ViaCordis chaplains can help you integrate faith and work in a healthy and appropriate manner, caring for your employees above and beyond basic wages, benefits and work conditions. Our service engenders meaning through work and establishes an organizational culture based on altruistic love.
Those engaging ViaCordis Chaplaincy Services understand that good business decisions involve a commitment to provide holistic care for their employees. Thus, business leaders want to provide employee benefits that communicate to employees that the leaders care about them as whole beings, not merely objects to be exploited for financial gain. Astute leaders recognize their employees need love, care, concern and help, irrespective of religious backgrounds or faith traditions, and strive to meet these in an appropriate way. As they do, they positively impact the company’s productivity and financial viability. Companies report an ROI in the range of 9:1 to 16:1 (see General Motors and Corporate Chaplaincy Consulting, respectively). Incredible!
