A TBN Luncheon with Kraft Foods: Photogallery

The audience in the Grand Lobby erupted in laughter as speaker Gil De Las Alas, vice president of human resources at Kraft Foods, confirmed that everything that happens on the TV series “The Office” happens in the real-life business workplace.

De Las Alas and Dan Van Drunen ’81, Kraft Foods customer category manager, were the featured guests at the Trinity Business Network luncheon on November 13.

Offering a perspective from human resources on creating a better workplace of today, De Las Alas discussed coming to work with a purpose, understanding personal limits, and realizing that small things do matter.

De Las Alas said that each person should believe in his or her role, and that a job is meant to glorify the Lord.

Building on those topics, Van Drunen urged the audience to be a positive influence at work and explained that, in order to do so, each person had to be in step with one’s own family first.

Both speakers emphasized the fact that businesses are about people, and they encouraged business students and local business owners in attendance to continue networking.
