In a recent Reuters article, written by Ellen Wulfhorst, and posted on Yahoo on February 23, 2006, it was noted that ''Americans work more, seem to accomplish less''.
The American worker struggles in many ways with the pressures of home and work. They suffer earning
constraints, time constraints, and frustration levels that are at an all time high.
The article continues:
''Most U.S. workers say they feel rushed on the job, but they are getting less accomplished than a decade ago..''
"Technology has sped everything up and, by speeding everything up, it's slowed everything down, paradoxically," said John Challenger, chief executive of Chicago-based outplacement consultants Challenger, Gray and Christmas Inc.
"We never concentrate on one task anymore. You take a little chip out of it, and then you're on to the next thing," Challenger said on Wednesday. "It's harder to feel like you're accomplishing something."
''Sixty percent of workers say they always or frequently feel rushed..
This feeling of always being rushed and never doing enough is increasing the stress level on the American worker. The reduced productivity is adding to a person's stress level and having a major effect on their satisfaction with their job and career. This frustration and lack of satisfaction are carried home. It can impact family life and potentially have an effect on a person's health.
According to the article:
''A decade ago, 40 percent of workers called themselves very or extremely successful, but that number fell to just 28 percent.''
''Expectations that technology would save time and money largely haven't been borne out in the workplace, said Ronald Downey, professor of psychology who specializes in industrial organization at Kansas State University.
"It just increases the expectations that people have for your production," Downey said.
''Even if productivity increases, it's constantly outpaced by those expectations, said Don Grimme of GHR Training Solutions, a workplace trainin.company based in Coral Springs, Florida.
"The irony is the very expectation of getting more done is getting in the way of getting more done," he said. "People are stressed out."
''Companies that are flexible with workers' time and give workers the most control over their tasks tend to fare better against the sea of rising expectations, experts said.''
This flexibility is the key. There has to be a solution. Perhaps it is time to consider alternatives to the American corporate model an.come up with a different approach. This approach need not be totally new, but the key is it must be a departure from the ''norm''.
The article then points out:
''Businesses that have moved to 24-hour operations, bosses who micro-manage and longe.commutes all add to the problem, they said, while downsizing leaves fewer workers doing the work of those who left.
''Finally, there's a trend amon.companies to measure job performance like never before, said Challenger. "There's a sense that no matter how much I do, it's never enough," he said.''
So where can you keep your current job (until you choose to move on), cultivate a new
Opportunity, create unlimited income potential, achieve a healthier personal and family lifestyle, minimize the pressure brought on by long hours, lon.commutes, micro-managing bosses and downsizing?
