Business has to realize that simply employing people isn't enough; it's also important to be thankful for an employees contribution. Employing people is a business decision, not a human decision. But being employed is a human decision not a business decision. We are bound to have more and more job dissatisfaction if business and their employees don't figure it out. Businesses: appreciate your employees. Employees: insist that you have to be more "you" in your job. The solution: include personal strengths in the workplace. Research shows that job satisfaction and business goals can be achieved by including employees personal strengths as an important part of business and employee success. Strength partnerships and fewer "job titles" is what is needed. Because when you work within your strengths, it doesn't feel like work... it feels like "you". Job satisfaction is a two way street.

I couldn't agree with you more on the importance of instituting career breaks and sabbaticals into the work place. We deal a lot with individuals on a career break, but YourSabbatical (http://yoursabbatical.com) works with companies on creating sabbatical programs for their employees. Hopefully we can all bring the importance of career breaks & sabbaticals to the forefront of Americans and corporate culture. Well said Jeff!
