". . . Under the First Amendment, Americans enjoy two freedoms with respect to religion: the right to be free from a government-imposed religion, and a right to practice any religion. While private employers are not bound by the Constitution's restrictions on government, they are subject to federal and state laws that ban religious discrimination in employment. Given the number of employed persons and the variety of religious faiths in this country, and the freedom we enjoy to express our views, the subject of religious discrimination continues to pose tough questions for employers and the courts. . ."


If religious discrimination in employment is banned by federal and state laws, should a company be allowed to discriminate against a specific group of human beings (gays, lesbians, transgender individuals?) which has equal rights with the company federal and state laws by refusing to provide services to them?

Everybody . . .

. . . wants one . . .


Many firms spend their 'quality' time with employees preaching on how the employees can do things differently, usually to the benefit of the company.  How many actually consider what makes a 'good' company? . . . 

(from http://www.goodcompanyindex.com/good-company/good-employer/)
The phrase good employer evokes images of generous, nice companies.  While such attributes are part of the equation, being a good employer is more complex – and more difficult to achieve.  There are many moving parts, tradeoffs, and judgments that companies must make with regard to their employees.

There are three main elements to being a good employer:
    A value-creating organization committed to its employees, through active management of the organization’s leadership, work, and learning environments
    Creating business intelligence for being a worthy employer; this makes it possible for a company to masterfully manage the tension between employees as costs and employees as assets
    Providing an inspiring purpose with compelling answers to the questions “Whom is the company designed to benefit?” and “What is the company trying to achieve?”

Why would a company seek to be a good employer?  This is basic to being a good company for at least three reasons:
    Employees are fundamental stakeholders in a company and deserve to be treated and managed well
    Over the long run, it’s hard for companies to deliver great value to their customers if their employees are surly, disenfranchised, and/or in short supply
    If companies mistreat or mismanage their workers and fail their customers, the company’s capacity to deliver value to its investors and other stakeholders will suffer correspondingly
