“Magnificent Humanity”, Pope Leo VII’s on , arrives at a defining moment for , , and . My latest article explores why human dignity, moral responsibility, and ethical leadership must remain central as technology reshapes society, institutions, and public trust in an increasingly fragmented world.

Is the Fortune 500 losing religion?

Over the past five years, our research team has tracked how America’s largest companies publicly communicate issues related to faith, values, belonging, and employee culture across corporate webpages, workplace messaging, and organizational communications.

Our new findings reveal meaningful shifts taking place across the Fortune 500 between 2022 and 2026. Some trends were expected. Others were surprising. And several raise important questions about where workplace culture and corporate leadership may be heading next.

So what is really changing inside corporate America? What signals are increasing? Which ones are evolving? And what might these patterns tell us about the future of values-centered workplaces?

Next week, we’ll unveil the full findings at the 7th Annual Fortune 500 Faith@Work ERG Conference: “Dare to Overcome” in Washington, DC.

📍 New 5-year trend data
📍 Fortune 500 benchmarking insights
📍 Strategic analysis and graphics
📍 The first longitudinal study of public-facing faith inclusion signals in corporate America

Join us May 20th and be among the first to see the results.
