This puts employees’ personal lives on a collision course with their work lives—and makes caring for your people critical to your company’s success.

“The responsibility of a company is to serve the customer. The responsibility of leadership is to serve their people so that their people may better serve the customer. If leaders fail to serve their people first, both customer and company will suffer.”

Simon Sinek

author, speaker, founder of The Optimism Company

Unaddressed, these struggles create an unstable work environment that negatively affects your people and your profit.

The Costs of an Unstable Culture Work-related stress, burnout, and personal crises decrease employee engagement, distract from an organization’s goals, deteriorate mental health, and diminish success. Consider these stats:

Disengaged employees cost up to $550 billion annually in lost productivity.1

Resolving workplace conflict costs over $3 billion per year.2

Depression-induced absenteeism costs $51 billion a year, plus an additional $26 billion in treatment.4

It can cost up to 250% of an employee’s annual salary to ultimately replace their role.5

Addressing workplace stress costs roughly $500 billion per year.3

Companies spend around 75% of an employee’s annual salary to cover lost productivity due to the effects of stress, burnout, and personal crises.6

So what’s your strategy?

A cared-for employee is an engaged employee—and one of the best ways to show your employees you care about them is by offering them a listening ear.

This is why hundreds of businesses around the country trust Corporate Chaplains of America (CCA) to help stabilize their workforce.

It’s challenging to run your business when your employees are hurting. There are needs you want to meet, but your availability or your title prevents you from getting involved.

By placing a highly trained, credentialed, on-site chaplain inside your organization, you are increasing your capacity to care for your team.

“Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person — not just an employee — are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled. Satisfied employees mean satisfied customers, which leads to profitability.”

Anne M. Mulcahy

former chairwoman and CEO of Xerox Corporation

A Reputation for Empowering Workforce Stability From our founding in 1996 through today, Corporate Chaplains of America (CCA) continues to provide the kind of employee care that results in healthier individuals, stronger teams, and more resilient cultures.

Serving employees from all faith backgrounds, or with no faith at all, CCA chaplains meet people right where they are and empower them to successfully navigate stress, conflict, and personal crises.

Providing care to nearly one million people CCA cares for over a thousand companies nationwide, representing a quarter million employees, including their friends and family.

Teams We Empower

What companies are saying about CCA...

“There are a lot of problems that my staff has that I am not equipped to handle. So having a corporate chaplain, someone with training, someone with experiences that can be dedicated to that problem for the person, and to keep it confidential, allows us to give a real meaningful asset to our staff.”

Janet B. Practice Owner

“The support for employees alone in terms of providing a confidential outlet to talk and be encouraged easily justifies the cost of having a company chaplain. There is no better way to support your employees than for them to know that you are doing something to invest in their well-being.”

Craig H. Company Owner

“As the executive director of a new organization, I was building a team of 130 people and I knew that I wanted Corporate Chaplains for my new team. One of the most compassionate things a leader can do is to provide this service for their team. Not only did this help my team, but it helped my organization as a whole thrive and run smoother. Life is hard and when employees realize their leader cares for them in tangible ways it is incredible the loyalty it builds.”

Shelly C. Executive Director

CCA chaplains are advocates for your core values and corporate culture. Their ability to stabilize your workforce comes from their consistent engagement with your team, their own workplace experience, and professional chaplaincy training.

What to expect from your CCA partnership: Weekly onsite visits (voluntary, permission-based, and confidential) One-on-one care sessions onsite and off A unique 800 number with 24/7 access Secure access to the TelaChap virtual chaplaincy tool Periodic Activity Reports to keep senior leadership in the know Proven counseling resources to help your people navigate life A nationwide network of care for your employees and their families

A High Barrier to Entry…

On average, only 1 in 38 applicants meet CCA’s high industry standards and qualify for chaplaincy. CCA’s chaplains are diverse men and women who are practiced, experienced, and skillful.

CCA makes the most of your investment by focusing on four key barriers to a stable work environment.

STRESS Our relational support mitigates the consequences of stress by identifying triggers and creating a safe environment where solutions can be offered.

ISOLATION Our intentional presence and confidential care sessions foster meaningful relationships to help employees integrate into all areas of life, inside and outside the workplace.

GRIEF Our strategic approach, paired with our 24/7 national network of chaplains provides unparalleled support and care for individuals and their loved ones near and far.

CONFLICT Our chaplains’ neutral and highly relational approach have proven to de-escalate situations and save companies time and resources.
