WORK CARE aims to focus on the following points:

• Work plays a significant and necessary role in our universal call to become human persons.

• Work is meaningful only when the human person’s dignity is fully appreciated and when the activity of work is complimented by a certain receptivity towards life.

• The subjective and objective dimensions of work must be properly integrated and balanced.

• The subjective dimension of work (the dignity of the human person) always has priority over the objective dimension (productivity).

• Work involves three spheres of values: (1) a personal value: bringing dignity to the individual; (2) a family value: forming the foundation of communal life; and (3) a societal value: enriching the common good.

• Work, which is meant to humanize and develop persons, can become destructive when means become ends.
