Drops in productivity are not normally a high priority topic when we consider the recent financial crisis. However, it is urgent for companies to address this topic, in that workers will normally not be concerned with doing a good job when the job itself is in jeopardy, nor will they function at a high level of productivity. This stress, added to the stress of the credit crunch and massive foreclosures occurring today, creates a level of stress upon the average American worker that has not been experienced since the days of the Great Depression. These forces can negatively impact any organization's productivity and long term efficiency.
Bob Rausch, Ph D., Executive Coach, consultant and CEO of 1Executive Energy Inc., believes that the internal energy forces that drive individuals and groups are far more important to a company's bottom line than any other factors combined. Stress negatively impacts workplace relationships, creates unnecessary conflicts and negatively impacts communication. The result is a dramatic drop in productivity.
“Stress is the primary factor in this equation,” stated Dr. Rausch, “ 43% of all corporate employees already suffer adverse health effects due to 'everyday levels' of stress and 80-90% of all visits to a primary care physician are due to stress related complaints or disorders. Stress is not the problem. Stress is the result of the problem. The huge number of business failures, foreclosures and the tightening of credit result in a dramatic increase in the level of stress experienced by the employees of all companies. There is no company this financial situation will not affect.”
Dr. Rausch (widely known as 'The Energy Doctor') is the author of three books on the subject of personal and enterprise energy. His latest release, I Don't Dress Dead People – How To Live An Energized Life Without Burning Yourself Out, details 22 'Energy Connectors' that can help anyone learn to recognize serious, hidden energy drains, change interpersonal relationships, focus personal energy and develop new outlooks on work.
“We all have an infinite supply of energy,” stated Dr. Rausch, “however, in this scenario, so many people are drained and stressed to the max. The personal energy level of many American workers has been dramatically decreased by these recent events. When people are low on energy, they get caught in a vicious cycle, simply because they don't have the energy to solve the problems that are out of their own control. Searching for the answers to these same problems takes even more energy – difficult if one is already out of gas. This becomes a never-ending downward spiral, resulting in low productivity.”
Widely recognized as America's leading authority on personal and enterprise energy, Dr. Rausch has made it his life's work to bring our personal energy crisis to an end by teaching companies and individuals to effectively manage their internal energy resources.
