MARRIAGE COUNSELING ... AT WORK?
RIPPLE EFFECT: When you're having trouble with your personal relationships, whether they be romantic or plutonic, it will affect more than just your personal life. Believe it or not, your boss is really interested in your relationships because of the direct effect it has on his or her bottom line! When you come to work in a bad mood about a fight or other relationship problem, you feel and act lousy. Because you're distracted and feeling down, your productivity and work quality will decline. Your attitude will even rub off on your co-workers, causing their productivity and work quality to decline. Customer service, sales and productivity all drop, causing the company's bottom line to fall -- all stemming from your fight with your husband or friend!
RELATIONSHIP IMPACTS ON BUSINESS: When an employee is going through a divorce, productivity can be disrupted for as long as three years, according to Sheryl Kurland, a relationship trainer. Annually, this can total four full weeks of lost work time! Excessive absences due to court dates, stress, illness and counseling can also add to this work-loss. Data also shows a divorcing employee costs about 21 percent of his or her annual salary in lost productivity. Companies in the United States lose $6 billion each year due to lost productivity stemming from marriage, divorce and relationship problems. Divorce even disrupts the workplace more than drugs and alcohol.
RELATIONSHIP EDUCATION ON THE CLOCK: Kurland has spent years interviewing couples who have been married 50 years or more and has taken some valuable lessons away from their relationship success. In her seminars, held by employers and presented to employees, she teaches people how to let go of the "little stuff," how to be selfless -- not selfish as she says most of us are in relationships -- how to show enthusiasm for the other person, how to create a "bank account" of the relationship to help facilitate forgiveness and how not to gravitate to the same type of person that's bad for you.
