  • For an employer to verify that I, as a chaplain, met with employees without compromising confidentiality, I will provide a monthly log of meeting times and durations for my Employee Care Hours (e.g., “Tuesday, 10-11:00 a.m., one-on-one care) without listing who attended, letting the employer see my hours in action. I also provide a 1 sentence general detail of the meeting while ensuring names remain anonymous (e.g., “Employee said the session helped with stress”).

  • An Employee Care Hour is any intentional, chaplain-led activity focused on supporting employee well-being, such as a 60-minute one-on-one meeting addressing personal issues where the chaplain listens and offers practical guidance.

  • I cover the following topics at both the Lunch & Learn and the Coffee & Care meetings. This list is not exhaustive, and I am open to any additional topics you think would serve your employees.

  • No. I will provide good decision-making principles, but I will not give specific counsel when it comes to whether an empoyee remains employed at your business or not.

  • I meet with employees both onsite and offsite. Whether in a conference room or coffee shop, or wherever is best for both the business & employee, I am flexible.

    As a male chaplain, when I meet with a female employee, I prioritize professionalism, comfort, and boundaries to ensure trust, avoid misunderstandings, and protect both parties—especially in a workplace setting. I prefer to meet in an open area like a break room, cafeteria, or office with glass walls where others can see but not hear, or in a coffee shop, keeping it private yet above board. I can also meet on Zoom, Teams, or FaceTime.
