Crown Advises Employers Be Inspired by George Bailey - Because It's Not Always a Wonderful Life, at Work

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Biblical principles at work sometimes seem obvious, notes Crown President Robert Dickie III in a national column out this week. People understand timeless guidelines about prohibitions against lying or murder, but there is a lot more to grasp when applying ethical guidelines to commerce.  "This may surprise some, but the importance of getting paid is biblical, and it's the employer who is on the hook," wrote Dickie, who heads the Crown Business Channel, Crownbiz, a unique on-line education for working professionals.

Numerous scriptures advise employers to treat their workers fairly and to pay on time, observed Dickie. "The laborer deserves his wages," notes Paul to Timothy. Dickie observed: "One way to jump start this economy begins with all businesses, no matter the size, expanding their understanding of corporate goals to include the well-being of everyone who comes in contact with them – from the customer, the suppliers, the employees and not just the shareholders and business owners."

Crown has pioneered an effort to teach biblical principles that benefit all, developing The Crown Business Leader Summit. Experienced consultants, speakers and business leaders address the philosophical and the practical, teaching proven principles of business management that can transform your business and increase your influence, not just your bottom line.

"The goal of every business should be that on every interaction, all parties win," said Dickie. "That begins with a respect for those involved, and with a plan to care for the least of these. It includes businesses built with regard for employees who are not disposable or manipulated to remain in a part-time trap, but are important members of the team."
