“Everyone in Lancaster County is part of their cast.” — Blue Ridge Cable 11 News
Mark Griffin of In HIS Name HR has had the opportunity to work for some very large and well- known companies as well as some smaller, more modest set-ups during his career. During that time Mark learned and perfected his trade under the wing of some very talented and successful people who were willing to share their knowledge and get him started on the right foot. It wasn’t until the significant downsizing of the Kodak Company, where he was working in 2004, that Griffin decided it was time to move his family back to Pennsylvania to get a fresh start and settle his family near where he grew up.
Since starting In HIS Name HR, Mark has focused not only on the basic values of the HR field, but also tailored his approach to fit a niche market here in Lancaster County, the Christian-run business. He says he considers himself a partner to the businesses he works with because he strives to understand and anticipate their needs and genuinely cares about their profitability. It’s about becoming a part of the team instead of just another overhead expense. Griffin believes that the success of a company rides on its ability to totally integrate its mission, vision and core values into its everyday work processes. Having a faith-based approach seems to strengthen this practice and helps to bring like-minded people together.
We talked with Mark about the toll the economy has taken on the leadership aspect of businesses today. Spending cuts have reduced or eliminated what used to be years of training for up and coming management personnel and many of them just aren’t qualified to handle the workplace situations they find themselves in. Employees are starting to lack faith in the companies they work for, and Mark says one of the most valuable things a company can do right now is offer positive encouragement and guidance to the people who make it happen every day.
As for Mark’s company, In HIS Name HR focuses on authenticity, integrity, trust and stewardship. He stresses how important it is to work on the issues of one’s life outside of the workplace as well as within it. In HIS Name offers leadership training and development, communication training, basic HR programming and career coaching.

Mark had the honor of being interviewed by Larry Souders of WPEL AM – FM, Montrose. The broadcast was aired additionally on WPGM in Danville and WBGM in New Berlin. The basis of this interview was to spread the word that Mark is interested in developing “Business Roundtable” discussions in rural Pennsylvania towns. Mark is continually drawn to focusing on rural Pennsylvania. Having grown up in a rural community, he understands that many rural areas are lacking the Christian business resources that are readily available in the Metro.
Interview – Part One
Interview – Part Two
He is exploring starting a roundtable group in several areas of rural Pennsylvania. The features of this roundtable group would be to assist businesses in accomplishing the following:
- Build “kingdom minded” organizations
- Integrate their Christian faith into their daily operations and practices
- Develop “cutting edge” ways to succeed in today’s marketplace
- Achieve personal-spiritual-business “life integration”
- Experience a safe & confidential place to share their issues and challenges
Interest has been gaining since the airing of this broadcast and alternatives to large roundtable groups are being explored.
Enjoy this two part presentation, which includes background on Mark and his ideas for helping to put Christ in the workplace.
