While profit is important for the continuation of an enterprise, it should never be its sole guiding principle. It is not the business model, but the ethical principles adhered to that make a business ‘Christian’. Such principles are also required from any employee. Basic Christian teaching will be of great help when workers are faced with unethical behaviour of bosses or colleagues.
Whatever their hierarchical position, workers will wish to be part of the production of a product or service of which they can be proud. This is not easily achieved through dull repetitive actions like at an assembly line. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is as good as any business approach that helps a company monitor its impact on society in the broadest sense, working for the wellbeing of workers and all society.
