TFR Chaplaincy Services
A Chaplain Assistance Program (CAP) that makes a difference!
Providing a faith-based Chaplain Assistance Program (CAP) to companies who care for the emotional, social, and spiritual health of their employees.
Why offer chaplaincy services? A company’s most valuable asset is its employees! Investing in your employees by providing TFR chaplaincy services will protect your most valuable company asset! Employers recognize the majority of problematic issues for their employees stem from things outside the work place, but come into the work place with the employee. These issues have a negative effect on attendance, attitude and productivity on the job. TFR Chaplaincy Services offers your employees the support they need to manage the difficulties many are facing in today’s culture and economy.
The voluntary, neutral, confidential services provided by TFR Chaplaincy Services offers employers a way to express interest and concern for employees and give them a resource to help resolve problematic issues without getting directly involved. In so doing, the individual employee gets help; their family gets help and the company “bottom line" gets help.
Are there any differences between Employee Assistance Programs, (EAP’s) and Chaplain Assistance Programs, (CAP’s)?
The main difference between the standard EAP and a CAP is relationship. With a standard EAP the employee is given materials and an 800 number to call, but there is no relational connection between the provider and the employee. A CAP, on the other hand, offers not only the 24/7/365 availability of the same Chaplain, but also a relationship with him/her as well. Most employees prefer to talk to someone they know and trust.
Offering a CAP as an 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 said, corporate chaplaincy is like "an EAP on steroids!" This same CEO also said, "starting our chaplaincy program was the best thing I have ever done in business."
