Organizations are paying a very high price for this epidemic! Statistics Canada tells us that work-related stress directly affects current and long-term productivity of workers in terms of reduced work activities, disability days, absenteeism and turnover! It is estimated that the replacement cost of an entry-level employee is 30% of their annual salary up to 400% of the annual salary for a high-level employee!

Nick Pagan - Click Here To Read Nick's Articles - The guiding principle behind the writings on www.nickpagan.com is that if you are emotionally well-balanced, then you naturally want to engage in carrying out useful and productive activities. If not, then you will struggle against yourself to get things done. This reduces your efficiency and your effectiveness and, at times, it leaves you immobilized and unable to get anything done on important, yet difficult issues. There are four key topics that remove the resistance to getting things done: Understanding how the mind works, so that objectives are designed and managed to be easy to carry out. Understanding the process of problem solving, so that practical difficulties can be overcome. Understanding how learning and skill development occurs, so that the capabilities needed to fulfill objectives can be gained quickly. Applying enhanced productivity techniques, so that work is carried out more efficiently and effectively. When you combine these elements together, you get free-flowing, highly leveraged, and deeply satisfying progress. www.nickpagan.com
