Discussion Thread: Introducing HR and Christian Worldview
Keller’s big-picture thinking relative to work in God’s world (Chapters 1–4) can be interpreted as follows:
Design —God designed humans to work;
Dignity —work gives humans dignity;
Cultivation —God continues to “create” through the work of humans;
Service —humans love God and neighbor through work.
What is your response to Keller’s big-picture thinking? How does this resonate with Hardy’s introductory thoughts? What are 3 related implications for the role of human resources (HR) as a strategic function in any business (Valentine Chapters 1–2)?
