The workplaces in America (and in many other countries, especially in the Western world) have experienced significant changes in the last few decades. Many values are perceived as changing, and there has been a rearranging of many manufacturing trends that have further affected workers, communities and regions. This article brings two theses before us. First, there is the role of the chaplain in the workplace. This is not a new concept, but it is new to many now struggling to keep their workplaces intact. Second, we have the importance of workplace leadership in taking seriously the bereavement needs in their organization and how the workplace chaplain can assist in that urgent need.
