SLHRM: Principles of Fair Employee Treatment

Gary E. Roberts

Chapter Chapter 6 in Christian Scripture and Human Resource Management, 2015, pp 109-131 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract SLHRM organizations possess a passionate commitment to dignified employee treatment. Employees are not just “resources,” but souls made in the image of God. Promoting employee rights is a foundational Christian servant leadership principle. How we treat employees is an essential interface between core servanthood and stewardship values in an organizational decision-making environment that typically possesses a schizophrenic view toward employees. In one perspective, employees are human beings with souls while from another standpoint they are instrumental “costs” of production that must be minimized in our hypercompetitive marketplace. Which of these views prevails? For SLHRM organizations, the response is simple: employees are not costs, but the human flesh and blood foundation of the enterprise.
