So, what is the major cause of this infectious disease

So, what is the major cause of this infectious disease that cost American businesses so much lost profits from decreased productivity.? Great question!? In my research I found that relationship issues are by far the greatest cause.? In regards to personal relationships, a study found that conflicted relationships impact productivity more then all of the following combined; death in the family, serious illness, problems with children, caring for the elderly, substance abuse and depression.?

Not to bore you with too many facts, I just have to throw out a few more.? A person with high marital distress will lose over 38 more days of work per year than someone with average marital stress. ?In the year following divorce, employees lost an average of over 168 hours of work time. ??This equals 4 weeks in one calendar year.? Heck, how many of us take that must vacation time.

Another study discovered these sad facts.? Unhappily married couples are almost four times more likely to have a partner abusing alcohol than happily married couples and employees in failing relationships are more likely to resort to physical abuse or violence to resolve tensions at home.???

People who have heard my speeches or read my book know that the major cause of conflict in relationships is reactivity.? Reactivity is the release of emotional energy exhibited by inappropriate, destructive or toxic words, actions and behaviors.? Presenteeism in regards to relationship issues occurs when someone has an unresolved conflict at home, at work and / or within themselves.?
