Having Faith At Work- Mr. Charlie Harary

faith at work if someone's a person with certain religious ideals practices rituals and they work in an office that doesn't have that same practices or restrictions how do they deal with it great question so let me just give you a couple of ideas first and foremost never ever ever be embarrassed of your faith faith is something of pride and no one that i've ever encountered in my life ever thought otherwise people are there to do a job and everyone has things outside the office and if you believe that faith is important to you and you hold it with pride people will respect you for your faith they will allow themselves to respect you for who you are therefore asking in a way that is respectful for time off for faith is part and parcel of the modern business world there's something to be embarrassed about if you can't eat certain foods or there are days you have to take off or there are moments or times but you got to do it with the right level of care and concern to the larger organization many times me personally many jobs that i had i would take off for sabbath i would take off for holidays but i would always be on for other holidays i would always be the first person that would email the group and go hey guys i'm working on christmas or thanksgiving or other holidays where i could work i'd be working saturday nights or sundays to get my job done you have to understand that businesses are there to produce a certain amount of product and at the end of the day what they want more than anything in the world are responsible employees that are excited for what they do and do a great job no business today needs you to be on 24 hours a day every business today should allocate time for each person to take care of whatever they need personally family faith hobbies medical whatever that is your job is to be able to express to your employees and to your employers that you're here you're ready to grow you're ready to work and that your faith is a piece of who you are that you respect but it's not going to get away of your ability to produce and when you show yourself as a certain type during the work day and you're willing to do things even after the typical work day you're sending a message and the message is i take my job seriously i like what i'm doing and i'm going to add and my faith is not my excuse to get out my faith is actually building me making me who i am but that person is the person you hired and that's the person that's gonna ultimately continue to deliver results to the company and if you think of it that way and the people around you if they don't even respect you between me and you you gotta look for another place to work because this is who you are you should never change who you are for the job you have the job you have is an expression
