A man of business may often most properly consider that he does his share in building up a property which gives steady work for few or many people; and his contribution consists in giving to his employees good working conditions, new opportunities, and a strong stimulus to good work. Just so long as he has the welfare of his employees in his mind and follows his convictions, no one can help honouring such a man. It would be the narrowest sort of view to take, and I think the meanest, to consider that good works consist chiefly in the outright giving of money.

白话
洛克菲勒认为，做生意的人把企业做起来，本身就是在尽社会责任，因为企业给多少人提供了稳定工作。他的贡献在于给员工好的工作条件、新机会，以及把活干好的动力。只要他心里装着员工福利、按自己的信念去做，就值得尊敬。把“善行”主要理解成直接掏钱给人，是最狭隘、最吝啬的看法。换句话说，创造就业、善待员工，和捐款一样是善，甚至更根本。
上下文
洛克菲勒在回忆录中为实业家辩护，回应当时舆论对富人“只知赚钱不行善”的批评。
今日一问
你所在的组织，有没有把善待员工当成一种善行来认真对待？
