NIBIC sets the bar for Workplace Chaplaincy standards

What is a Workplace Chaplain?
Workplace chaplains provide spiritually-based care to persons in the context of their employment, respecting the diversity of the workforce being served. They respond to individual and family needs, as well as work life concerns such as job stress, coworker relations and career direction. They also provide consultation to management about issues affecting employee well-being, including organizational change, ethical challenges, conflict resolution, team development and outplacement. Workplace chaplains are called upon to lead first responder teams in the event of critical incidents affecting the workplace. Workplace chaplains are highly trained in the services they provide, whether this takes place on the organization premises or externally at a chaplaincy provider center.
