Springdale, Arkansas – Tyson Foods, Inc. is featured in a new documentary that takes a new look at how historical virtues are practiced in a modern business environment.
The one-hour program, produced by PBS station WFYI of Indianapolis, explores how virtues such as respect, patience, compassion, forgiveness and humility influence an organization’s priorities and “elevate” its vision and mission.
As noted in the opening moments of the documentary, “…more leaders are looking to enrich their mission and re-evaluate the ways in which they do business. In turn, they are dedicating themselves to cultivating a corporate culture rooted in virtue, character and ethics.”
The Tyson segment, titled “Taking Care of the Team,” features Chairman John Tyson, President and CEO Donnie Smith and Chaplain Rick McKinnie. It references Tyson’s ‘Core Values’ and efforts to provide a ‘faith-friendly’ work environment, as well as the company’s emphasis on teamwork.
