Employers lose a lot of productivity from employees who are struggling in their marriages or going through a divorce. The Marriage Hub can help you support your employees who are struggling with their marriages. This is a benefit to them, their children, and to you as the leader of your organization.
Meet Dr. Bruce R. McCracken. Bruce has been leading the Marriage Hub for over 17 years. Bruce has been focused on doing marriage intensives for over 10 years, helping couples save their marriages from the devastation of divorce. The Marriage Hub has an 85% success rate. Meaning that their couples are still married a year after their intensive.
Downsizing can be daunting, to say the least. Many of us have been let go ourselves over the course of our working lives. But even if we haven’t, we understand the obvious that it’s not a desirable experience.
When the economy turns though, almost every industry gets hurt. In which case, these trying times have had an impact on a wide range of organizations – and will no doubt continue to do so from here. So, sometimes, letting workers go is a necessity.
Yet, believe it or not, there are Bible-based ways to handle such situations, designed to make it easier for everyone involved. Meet Karmae Fahr, who says she’s seen it all… including downsizing done incorrectly. As she tells Mark, however, employers can learn how to:
Plan for notification day
Have a strategy in place for employee engagement afterward
Compile services for exiting employees to utilize.
Karmae is an executive search and recruitment expert, business consultant, entrepreneur, executive coach, trainer, and mentor with 30+ years’ experience. As principal executive of The Fahr Group (TFG) since founding it in 2007, she brings depth and breadth to organizations by successfully selecting candidates for positions from vice president through the C-suite.

We all have our own opinions of health and wellness based on our own unique experiences. Yet it’s essential to have a unified understanding in any workplace that creates a specific culture of wellness.
This isn’t supposed to be a token effort or Band-Aid treatment. Christ-centered wellness – living fully the way God intended – must become our new employment and employer norm: one that is so effective, it follows workers from the office to the home.
And yes, that is possible.
Meet Dr. April Jones, a healthcare leader with over 20 years of experience in optimizing and creating innovative processes. As CEO and founder of Storehouse Wellness, she champions a holistic, faith-based approach to health.
Dr. Jones spent years in traditional healthcare, where she helped people find the right medications to manage their disease symptoms, created pathways for easier and safer medical journeys, and helped to remove barriers to accessing necessary medication and proper education about these drugs. That’s how she came to realize the stark truth that providers don’t focus nearly enough on…
How to be well without medical intervention.
She now leads a premier, integrated, Christ-centered comprehensive wellness solution that removes fragmentation from well-being efforts. Dr. Jones’ program has four pillars at its core: nourishment, physical fitness, mental wellness/stress management, and financial health. It seeks to transform mindsets and strengthen internal motivation through a biblical perspective and focus on spiritual relationship.
Dr. Jones’ firm offers wellness navigation for accountability support and resource coordination, as well as 24/7 chaplaincy.
An accomplished consultant, board member, mentor, and coach, she blends hands-on healthcare experience with strategic business acumen. Dr. Jones also authored “No Mess, No Message,” a Christian motivational book on overcoming adversity; founded The Drifted Drum Co., a faith-based publishing and events company; and is a sought-after speaker. She holds degrees from Union University, University of Tennessee, University of Memphis, and Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.

Once successfully implemented, it helps avert personnel headaches and accompanying legal problems from coming up in the first place.

When was the last time you really thought about the importance of caring for yourself and others in the workplace?
Too often, the answer to this question is a blank stare. Yet discussing a healthy work-life balance and finding tips for dealing with stress and burnout can be extremely helpful. And no, it doesn’t have to be filled with pointless complaints.
Instead, begin by acknowledging the obvious: that work can be hard, and it’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day grind. Next, emphasize the importance of taking care of yourself both physically and mentally in order to be productive and successful.
Finally, conclude the conversation by emphasizing the importance of a healthy work environment. You might be shocked at how much more you can accomplish after you’ve taken the time to evaluate all of this.

CEOs and other high-level executives have a higher rate of burnout than the general workforce. And considering their long list of responsibilities, that makes sense.
We all know the airline safety advice to put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others. It’s a concept that applies just as well to leadership as flying the friendly skies. Yet it can feel impossible to find that kind of time outside the non-stop juggling acts, plate spinning, and balancing games.
If that’s how you feel, here’s a thought you should consider: What if the key isn’t balance at all, but integration?

As competition for great employees increases, it’s becoming abundantly clear that employers must be creative in their approach to employee benefit design. Some organizations are providing a unique and powerful benefit: adoption assistance. In this episode of Encouragement for Work, learn how you can encourage your employers by giving them the opportunity to support life by adding adoption assistance to their employee benefits.
Meet Herbie Newell, Herbie is the President and Executive Director of Lifeline Children’s Services and its ministry arms. He holds a Master’s of Business Administration in Accounting from Samford University. Before joining Lifeline as Executive Director in 2003, he spent several years working as an independent auditor for WAKM Companies, LLC, a prominent accounting firm. Under Herbie’s leadership, Lifeline has increased the international outreach to 25 countries, grown into 18 states, attained membership with ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability), begun an extensive foster care ministry, achieved accreditation Internationally under The Hague Treaty, and started its (un)adopted strategic orphan care ministries in over 10 countries.
Herbie speaks nationally at conferences and events, and regularly preaches throughout the world on Gospel-driven justice. Herbie is the author of the book “Image Bearers.” He and his wife, Ashley, live in Birmingham, Alabama and are parents to a son, Caleb, and daughters Adelynn and Emily.
Listen in as Mark meets with Herbie and learns how employers can create an adoption assistance benefit program. Since there are costs associated with adoption such as medical, agency, court, legal, foreign, and more fees, many employees need assistance to make their adoption happen for their family. This assistance could provide financial support to adoptive families through either a one-time lump-sum payment or full or partial financial reimbursement.

Meet Denise Lawrence. In a recent mastermind session she facilitated, she focused on leadership development and had a candid discussion about Big Egos and what this form of leadership character can do for teams.
The reality is that, no matter how smart or skilled we are as leaders, we cannot know everything. When the ego is so profound that it prevents employees from using their own places of strength—intellect, skillsets, and workplace gifting—then the entire organization is in jeopardy of failure.
Join Mark and Denise as they discuss how to tone down the ego or turn a hot and heavy ego on simmer for the benefit of those we lead.
Denise has been a business owner since 1987 and has experienced failure many times while building great teams. Denise finally checked her ego and learned to lead from a position of service, which is the best biblical instruction for leadership that can be applied. Denise has served over 300 mastermind groups across the country, and through focus groups, she has learned what needs to change to make these truly effective for the leaders who participate and the employees and teams who benefit from their participation.
Today, Denise is a serial business owner with a mission to establish programs and services that close the wealth equity gap for faith-based businesses in America. She calls herself the business disrupter because she believes the whole small business industry needs a transformational shift toward serving others, lifting others up, and erasing a hierarchy where only the top thrive.
When the goal is for everyone in the business to succeed, be happy, and build wealth, they all rise together. Denise is a former journalist turned entrepreneur, pastor, wife, mother, grandmother, and Ph.D. candidate at Liberty University.
