Career Depression Syndrome In today's world, any
company that takes for granted the commitment of its personnel and ignores the
impact of the CDS may be in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of lowered
morale, weaker motivation and commitment to the job, lower productivity, and
declining bottom-line profitability. In companies with these problems,
the employees who are the first to resign and find other employment are often
the ones with the most talent necessary for the company's success. Based upon 25 years of
career counseling in which we have clinically interviewed and tested
(personality and aptitude testing) over 10,000 people, we believe that CDS is
on the increase. Certainly, an increase in CDS can be expected among
those whose careers are disrupted by current trends such as downsizing,
restructuring, and constant technological changes. However, we are seeing career depression in people
from their mid-20's through retirement age, and many are making a good living
in a wide variety of career areas. Twenty-five years ago, perhaps one out
of ten career counseling clients had career depression. Today, we believe that
it is more than half. By any of the outer trappings of success, they
should be happy, but they are not. http://www.careermotiv8.com/dpr.htm |
