Tyson Foods

When it comes to companies with Christian values at their core, Tyson Foods is a good example that often is not acknowledged as a faith-driven organization. Most Christians know about how companies such as Chick Fil A and Hobby Lobby are bold in their faith, but Tyson Foods is another company that is able to exemplify serving their employees in a Christlike way. Taken directly from the purpose and values page of their website, “we strive to be faith-friendly and inclusive”. Since the creation of Tyson Foods, they have placed an emphasis on keeping Christian values at the center. The founder, John Tyson, knew that it would be very important to create these values when shaping the beginning of the company. The company uses these values to ensure that their priority is the wellbeing of their employees and customers over just profits. One major way that they take care of their employees is through the creation of a chaplaincy program. This is a great way for the upper levels within the company to show the employees that they care about their faith and spiritual wellbeing. By doing this, not only are Christian employees cared for, but non-religious employees might become more interested in exploring the faith. Another way that Tyson Foods shows their Christian values is through working with churches and food banks to show the love of God to others, even if it does not provide a direct financial return to them. They also currently accept grant requests as a part of their community giving program with a focus on the local areas that the company is operating in. Through working for the general good of people in local communities to encouraging employees to grow in their faith, Tyson Foods is a good example of a redemptive business model that is striving to benefit everyone involved with the company.
