Competence is necessary but not sufficient. Character shapes how capabilities are used under pressure, when interests conflict and when the right choice is hard.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses depend on virtues they do not create themselves. Faith and belief can help form and sustain those virtues through conviction, practice and community. Character and governance work together: personal integrity cannot replace independent oversight, and rules cannot replace responsible judgement.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:22px\">Seven qualities that matter in business<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"crit\">\n<li>Wise judgement<\/li>\n<li>Integrity<\/li>\n<li>Responsibility<\/li>\n<li>Trustworthiness<\/li>\n<li>Courage<\/li>\n<li>Stewardship<\/li>\n<li>Care for others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<h2>Belief, behaviour and belonging<\/h2>\n<p>Character is formed over a lifetime, and organisations either reinforce or weaken it through what they reward, tolerate and model.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid three\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<h3>Belief<\/h3>\n<p>Beliefs give people purpose and a standard to measure their choices against.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"card\">\n<h3>Behaviour<\/h3>\n<p>Practices give those beliefs expression in daily working life.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"card\">\n<h3>Belonging<\/h3>\n<p>Communities provide the support and accountability that sustain character.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"tint\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<h2>Four questions for every board<\/h2>\n<div class=\"steps\">\n<div><b>Recognise<\/b>Do we recognise the potential contribution of religion or belief to character and working life?<\/div>\n<div><b>Enable<\/b>Can employees who wish to do so bring this part of themselves into working life appropriately and voluntarily?<\/div>\n<div><b>Value<\/b>Are we open to insights shaped by religion or belief?<\/div>\n<div><b>Review<\/b>Are these conditions working fairly, consistently and responsibly in practice?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"note\">Inclusion must respect people of all faiths and none, be voluntary, and protect privacy.
