At the centre of the company organisation chart is Jesus: all department heads report to Him. Preferred Management, a home healthcare company in the Midwest, is an example of what has become an increasingly common phenomenon in America: employers and employees who bring religion into the workplace.
Religious diversity in the American workplace has increased dramatically since a wave of immigrants came to the US in the 1990s. But legal experts say greater diversity has also brought more lawsuits under America's tough job discrimination laws.
"More workers are expressing religious views at work and more employers are bringing their religion into the workplace," said Peggy Mastroianni, associate legal counsel for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the US employment watchdog. Complaints of religious discrimination received by the commission have risen by 27 per cent since 2000.
