So much for taboo. Politics may still be off-limits in the workplace, but religion appears to be more and more acceptable. Florida-based City Furniture offers spiritual counseling to interested employees, according to The Miami Herald. "There were those completely excited by it and those who said they would never use it but weren't offended by it," says Curt Nichols, vice president of human resources for City Furniture. "Not one person said it was a bad idea."

The company built a team of four spiritual professionals, representing a broad chunk of major religions, including a Protestant minister, a Bible teacher, a Catholic priest and a Jewish rabbi. According to the Herald, the team accepts payment in the form of a monthly contribution to their respective congregations. Faith-based benefits can also been seen at national companies like Ford Motor Co., which aims to "[promote] understanding and respect for the various faiths," according to the company Web site.
