Life skills—We recognize that many individuals are unable to sustain employment because their personal lives are in disarray. According to an article on Human Resource managers, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, most absenteeism and progressive discipline are attributed to problems in the worker’s personal life.

“If workers could just come with instructions!...”

Those instructions would be on stress management, money management, developing self-confidence, and getting organized. Basic problem solving with a dose of conflict management wouldn’t hurt either.

Many corporations such as Marriott and Thompson Electronics understand that successful employees experience success off the job as well. They are currently investing in their workforce by spent time training on life skills like personal budgeting, hygiene & grooming, and personal time management to name a few.
