Is training your people just about productivity—or is it discipleship in disguise?

In this episode of the Business is Good podcast, Chris Young reframes training, education, and development as a central part of how we help people reach their God-given potential. Far more than onboarding checklists or employee handbooks, these practices become tools of formation, rooted in the image-bearing dignity of every person.

Chris explains how Good Place organizations take a three-part approach:

Training helps people do the best job they can do.

Education helps them understand why their role matters and how it fits into the broader purpose.

Development helps them grow into the fullest version of who God created them to be.

You'll hear:

Why investing in people is a Great Commission practice

How training aligns with key outcomes and purpose—not just compliance

A framework for integrating learning into every level of your organization

The ripple effects of people development on community impact and economic regeneration

Whether you're a CEO or team leader, this episode will challenge you to see workplace development not as a cost, but as a calling.
