Encouragement At Work Series, The Danger of the Weakest Link
Proverbs 21:25
25The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.
One of the most difficult aspects of being a Christian leader is disciplining those who are not pulling their weight. Many weak leaders will ignore the behavior or even have one of their other direct reports try to intervene.
Employee performance issues are an inevitable part of the workplace.
Do you know a leader who will do almost anything possible to avoid having to face the disciplining of the rogue employee?

About Appalachian Healthcare Human Resources Society
First known as AHPS (Appalachian Hospital Personnel Society) the Appalachian Health Care Human Resources Society (AHCHRS) was founded on February 15, 1967. Initially the group of hospital HR professionals was small, wrestling with such new issues as enactment of the Civil Rights Act, Title VII and OSHA. The intent then is the same as it is today, to address both the routine and the unique issues that face healthcare HR professionals and to further develop the profession of human resources in healthcare.
Today AHCHRS is a working organization of committees and membership close to 100 participants. AHCHRS is a regional chapter of the Society of Human Resources Professionals in Pennsylvania (SHHRPP) and a local chapter of the national organization American Society of Healthcare Human Resources Administration (ASHHRA). Members enjoy networking and interacting with professionals representing all aspects of the multi-faceted health care environment.

A new season is ahead of us on LinkedIn!
Career Network @LCBC Church has changed its name to Christian Professionals of Central Pennsylvania (CPCP).
Why are we changing? The name change manifests our desire to grow outside LCBC Church into a wider Christian audience reaching multiple churches and a broad spectrum of Christian professionals.
Please help us expand our reach. Invite your friends, pastors, ministry leaders, family members, and colleagues to join our group.
It has been a blessing serving LCBC and the community through the Career Network these past five years. CPCP looks forward to serving a much broader audience in the future.
Our New Summary
Our mission is to provide effective education and networking opportunities for Christian professionals in the Central Pennsylvania region, helping our members to better serve others as ambassadors of Christ in the marketplace.
Our New Description
At the core of all we do lies our fervent desire to help Christian professionals grow their businesses and furnish a healthy environment that promotes and provides support and encouragement, fostering businesses opportunities that financially benefit the Central Pennsylvania region.
Our New Group Rules
Welcome to our group. We are excited by our rapid growth and you will find we are a close, passionate group. Our group is intended as a safe haven to discuss Scripture, Christ, and our daily walk with Him as Christians in the workplace. We want to encourage each other to boldly proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in our homes, communities, and workplaces in a way that is scripturally sound, not offensive, and in ways relevant to the people around us.
We initially began in order to connect job seekers to job opportunities and as a mission outreach through LCBC Church. It has since expanded to include Christian business leaders, pastors and ministry leaders.
You can choose to ‘follow’ or ‘not follow’ any discussion by simply marking your choice on the upper left corner of the discussion’s lead post—we encourage you to do this rather than engage in debate. If you read something on this site that you feel contradicts our stated beliefs or is uncivil, please let us know so that we can address it.
The following activities are not permitted: advertising, fundraising for individuals, political and/or overt self-promotion, SEO, social media assistance (including LinkedIn and Facebook), and topics falling outside of Christ, Scripture, and our daily walk with Him. Also not permitted or are links to sites that aggressively seek to obtain member emails or promote blogs.
We also do not permit direct links to other blogs, sites without a detailed description as to what the article is about, or “How to”-type discussions related to social media. The reason is that these types of discussions have the potential to become too numerous and we would rather they be posted in other groups. Please note that discussions falling into any of these categories will be deleted without notice.
Please take note that we do not permit any advertising or marketing posts within our general discussions area.
Looking for a position?
Review the “Jobs” tab to post a comment about the kind of job you are seeking and see what jobs we have listed that might appeal to you.
Organizations interested in posting a position: please follow LinkedIn guidelines and post within the “Jobs” tab. Positions posted not in the “Jobs” tab are subject to removal.
Encouragement At Work Series, Are You Perceived As a Helpful Leader?
Hebrews 6:10
10God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them.
We have lost our way in the area of helping others. Recently, there was a news story where a woman was stabbed to death more than thirty times and an astounding number of people stood and watched and did nothing. There are YouTube videos of people being ignored after being hit by cars, buses — you name it — and yet we just keep going on with our lives and navigate around what has become nothing more than a temporary distraction. We are truly desensitized as a nation. This is caused by a variety of conditioning processes, but the bottom line is that we have become cold, unfeeling people!

Encouragement At Work Series, The Shadow of Arrogance
Ecclesiastes 5:6
6Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
Have you ever watched really good employees produce excellent results and then ruin it all with their arrogance? Have you ever witnessed a senior executive deliver a passionate speech that rocked your world but, at the end, credit themselves and not their teams?
