Public Reading of Scripture Communities
Key proactive practices for leaders call for activities that involve community and care for their souls. The Public Reading of Scripture addresses both of these needs. These are virtual and in person gatherings, offered at various times during the week, as leaders throughout North America, and the world, join to listen to scripture. I have experienced great joy engaging Scripture in these communities. I think Paul was on to something when he said “devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture.”

On the other hand, companies that implement a formal onboarding program could see 50% greater employee retention among new recruits and 62% greater productivity within the same group. Given that how you onboard your employees will determine their experience, managers can take the following steps to ensure they set their new hires up for success: 1) set clear goals and measures for success, 2) create a multi-departmental onboarding team, and 3) provide support throughout the onboarding journey.
