Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 3/24/05 - Work and Family Interaction

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 3/24/05 - " Work and Family

Interaction "

Do family problems affect your working life? Do you take problems at work

home with you at the end of the day? Today, let's look at how our work and

family lives interact.

For a long time, employers have been concerned about how troubles at home

may affect their workers' on-the-job performance. But a major study done

some time ago by the Families and Work Institute says that the truth may be

closer to the other way around. Workers are far more likely to bring

job-related problems into the house than they are to take family conflicts

to the job.

Has this been your experience? In my 30-plus years of working with both

employers and employees, I've learned that it's really quite impossible to

split off a part of anyone's life and put it away so that it doesn't affect

the other parts. What happens at home is bound to affect what goes on at

work and vice-versa.

It is also true that the same attitudes, expectations, beliefs, and

problem-solving abilities are used to deal with all of life's challenges,

whether they occur in the workplace or in the living room. That's why it is

important to work on these personal development techniques because when you

improve the quality of life at home, it can quickly spill over to improve

productivity and quality at work.

You can't keep personal growth in a box. Development in one area stimulates

growth in another, and the desire for excellence reaches out to touch

everything in life.
