Our mission is to provide help and hope to company owners, managers and employees by building relationships and by serving through a Chaplain Assistance Program.
Welcome to Capital Chaplains!
You've heard of chaplains in the military and in hospitals. Now there are corporate chaplains!
Corporate chaplaincy makes good business sense. Take appropriate care of your employees and they will take care of business. Thousands of companies are discovering the human resource and bottom-line benefits of having a chaplain on the premises and available by phone 24/7/365 in case of an emergency, crisis, or other need. Through our Chaplain Assistance Program (CAP) employers can demonstrate that they care about those they lead.
"Some companies are adding a new position to the staff: a corporate chaplain. It's not about religion. It's about increasing productivity."
ABC News
Offering a CAP as an optional employee benefit provides the needed competitive edge when it comes to hiring top talent. Additionally, companies offering CAPs report much higher usage rates than traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), simply because of the relational nature of corporate chaplaincy. As the CEO of American LubeFast, which has 70 stores and 500 employees, said, corporate chaplaincy is like "an EAP on steroids!" This same CEO says, "starting our chaplaincy program was the best thing I have ever done in business."
The fast pace, pressures and distractions of everyday life create the reality that most employees are barely able to hang on. Working seven days a week, fulfilling the responsibilities of home, running tired and overwhelmed most of the time, all contribute to the fact that many people today have run out of margin in their lives and do not have anyone to turn to during the challenging times of life. Difficulties and challenges that employees face outside of the workplace come to work with them and cause low productivity, low moral, and high absenteeism.
The tangible benefits of corporate chaplaincy are numerous; from improved attitudes, cooperation, and performance to increased loyalty and commitment to the job. Decreases in anxiety and stress coupled with greater company loyalty all result in a lower turnover rate and higher productivity which have a direct positive impact on the bottom line.
Our mission is to reach out and bring care where it is needed most and where it can make a meaningful difference. Capital Chaplains - caring for people, transforming organizations.
