Public lecture and discussion with Andrew Sebestyen, Environmental Manager, U.S. Steel Canada
SUMMARY: The workplace is a place for business or commerce, a place where goods are manufactured or services provided. A business is in existence to make a profit for either its owners or its shareholders. If the business does not make a profit, it has no reason for existing. It will either cease operation or restructure to make itself profitable. There are many factors that go into making a business profitable. Very simply, it is income vs. expenses, but there are many underlying factors that influence the income side of the equation: research and development, marketing, production and the workforce. On the surface, it is dependent on science, engineering and economics. Is Faith one of the factors in a successful workplace? Does it even exist in the workplace, and if it does, how does Faith manifest itself there? These questions will be explored.
