BUS 802 Faith@Work: Workplace Case Studies

In BUS 801, we established a basic understanding of how and why faith impacts the workplace and economics more broadly. In BUS 802, we will focus on how faith is addressed within companies today. As this is a relatively new focus for businesses, we will focus on those organizations that have led the way in addressing faith at work.

Learning Outcomes

As a result of the session, you will be able to:

  1. Identify specific examples of companies addressing Faith@Work today.
  2. Identify specific characteristics of successful models of addressing Faith@Work.
