It used to be that absenteeism was a problem in the workplace. Today it's the opposite: It's called "Presentee-ism".  Employees are showing up, but not mentally present and focused on their work. Their worries about children, aging parents, marriage, or finances, are limiting their ability to concentrate. Per a Forbes 2018 study, it's costing U.S. companies $150 billion a year. A company's leadership can't spend all day ministering to their employees, nor can HR. So what's the answer? One answer is to look at adding a chaplaincy to your workplace. Their only job is to confidentially listen, support and walk alongside the staff.  Galatians 6:2 encourages us to Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. Won't you pass this idea along to your management today?
