The workplace has become increasingly complex to manage in recent years. For both supervisors and employees, differences in experience, personalities, and background often make it difficult for them to coexist. The workplace is a source of chronic stress for many, causing negative outcomes such as absenteeism, low productivity, sexual harassment, and workplace violence to name a few. Unfortunately, the woes of the workplace have become so common that many people feel helpless and hopeless and do not know how to handle workplace issues. In particular, many Christians do not know how to cope with workplace problems because they do not know how to deal with these issues from a faith-based perspective. To better understand the intricacies of the workplace, it is first important to understand why God has ordered us to work in the first place. Healing in the Workplace: A Spiritual Guide to Coping with Work Issues provides the long-awaited answers to solving work conflict and problems, helping us to see why God wants us to work, and how we are supposed to treat one another at work.
I am writing this book to help all the women in the United States who are now working in a Post Office. I myself started working in August 01, 1998.I am a victim of sexual harassment, stalking, mental abuse and verbally abuse by management in the Post Office, and I am also writing this book so the women who are now being sexually harass or harassed won't be intimated. The Post Office preaches about ZERO tolerance on the work floor, but that only applies to managements, not to the employees. I know for a fact that there are women out there who are being sexually harassed or verbally abused by their supervisor, who need help; but won't get it from management. I myself cried and begged for someone to help me, but management turned their backs on me, and called me a liar. There came a time during the sexual harassment I hated going to work. Trembling that I have to face this day after day and face this person who was abusing me, and management wouldn't stop him. He is now, believe it or not working for the Post Office.
