The Way To Wealth™

The Negative Impact Upon Employee Productivity

According to a survey among corporate business resource executives, “The financial literacy of workers is considered the most critical, unaddressed workplace issue.” (Cambridge Human Resources Group)

In a study completed by Virginia Tech professors E. Thomas Garman, Irene E. Leech, and John E. Grable, “Poor financial behaviors negatively impact both families and employers. They result in extremely high costs that are incurred by employers.” Here are only a few of the costs:

  • Absenteeism
  • Job Stress
  • Reduces productivity and sales
  • Employee theft
  • Substance Abuse
  • Lack of focus on job goals
  • Turnover
  • Accidents and increased risk takers
  • Tardiness
  • Greater use of employee assistance programs

It’s been estimated that 70% of all job absenteeism is a direct result of stress-induced illness. (Tang and Hammontree)

Lack of Goal Achievement Skills

Employees financial problems only give half a picture. Thousands of our course graduates in 80 nations consistently rate themselves lowest in goal achievement of twelve success traits.

We estimate that not over 5% of the work force today both understand and apply a goal achievement system.

If you believe that specific goals or targets are the beginning point of any successful achievement, then this is sad news indeed.

It’s here that we have substantive answers.

An Inner Game

The current amount of money people have or don't have, isn't just the result of how much they earn vs. how much they spend. These habits are only effects of certain causes.

To understand the real powers that control people’s current financial conditions we must look deeper than just their earnings and spending. We must examine deeper self-beliefs that have formed their unconscious LifeScript.

People’s Personal and Financial LifeScript

Each person has grown up, and experienced both successes and defeats. Some people have encouraged us; others have consciously or unconsciously discouraged us. Out of all our life experiences we form unconscious perceptions about ourselves.

Without realizing it, your people make certain decisions about themselves. Like: how good they are, how bad they are, how capable they are, how incapable they are. What they deserve to have, what they don't deserve to have. What's possible for them, what's not possible. How worthy they are, how unworthy they are. What's good? What's bad?

These internal beliefs or values then motivate their choices, which then influence their behaviors. These then usher in certain consequences that determine their life circumstances. Look at it like this

So, people’s life circumstances are predetermined by the thought-seeds that were planted.

Most people don’t know this do they?
