This Handbook is For You
The handbook can be used by anyone who is working, whatever their work is or whatever stage they are at in their working life. It is a flexible resource that can be used by individuals or groups to reflect on their work situations and experiences and think about what can be done to enrich the lives of the communities in which they work.
The basic idea behind the handbook is that by focusing on building better communities through our work, where we spend a lot of time and come into contact with a lot of people, we can begin to transform society as a whole for the benefit of all. This is the power of the handbook.
For Christians seeking to follow the example of Christ and share in his redeeming ministry, recognising when the 5Ls are visible in their work situations is a sign of God's active presence in the world. Seeking to find way to build on them is an expression of faith.
For those of other faiths or no faith, the 5Ls are also highly desirable features of a positive working environment.
For everyone who wants to make a difference where they are and contribute to making the world a better place, this handbook provides a focus for you vision and energy.
The handbook is a resource that is intended to be used on an ongoing basis so that its way of thinking becomes embedded in your life as a way of working.
