Interesting points and statistics

Do you know what kind of problems your people face in our competitive, fast changing environment?

If you like statistics, here are some brief points to ponder. If you don’t like statistics, skip past the bullets. A study of 325 sales managers by Sales and Marketing Management magazine found:

• 33% of sales professionals blamed stress of their job for smoking or drinking

• 63% complained that they travel too much on business

• 49% said their jobs had harmed their marriages

• 69% said work had caused them to put on too much weight

• 18% said their jobs had prevented them from finding a significant other

• 72% said their jobs had prevented them from exercising

• 44% blamed their jobs for failed relationships with family, friends or colleagues.
   

How can you help your people find solutions to their problems and help them to feel good – or at least better?

A Fast Company study indicates that 62% of employees, who have received training, mentoring, or education from their employer, said that they were very likely to stay with the company long-term.

Research by Knowledge Asset Management (KAM), Bethesda, Md. indicates that there is a strong correlation between a company’s productivity and their investment in training and developing their people.

Countless other studies indicate that short term and long term success comes through training, leading, motivating, and monitoring our “Oh-so-valuable” human resource.

At the core, peoples’ ability to drive forward with passion is determined by their level of self-esteem; their self-worth.  A recent study indicated that 67% of North Americans have a low level of self-esteem.

Personal leadership training is a key to improving self-esteem, which leads to a healthy, happy, productive workplace, where communication is effective and team spirit abounds.
