Personal Relationships
Trouble at home... leads to trouble at work. Unhealthy personal relationships frequently cause people to lose focus, miss time at work and undermine success.
Dieting and Eating
Within most companies is an eating subculture. How do your co-workers celebrate success? How do they deal with stress? If pizza parties, a candy bowl and dinners out are part of your work environment, watch out!
A recent workplace study reported Diet and Exercise as the most pressing employee concerns. Unhealthy eating in the workplace and little time for exercise is a major health and lifestyle concern for many employees.
Substance Abuse
One person's vice... is another's fun! Like it or not, drinking after work, dating a co-worker and smoking have consequences if you allow them too. Don't assume that "personal choice" is the right answer to concerned managers, legal departments and gossiping peers. When you play in this world, expect criticism and unsolicited advice. How you are perceived will have an affect on your career. Act carelessly and people will assume you are reckless. Show poor judgment and they may show you the door.

Mental Health
Each year, an estimated 56 million Americans - one in five people - experience diagnosable mental disorders. Affecting people of every race, ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status and gender, severe mental illness or serious emotional disturbance can impair normal daily activities, from work and school to sleeping and caring for oneself and others. The economic burden of mental illness in the United States - including both health care costs and lost productivity - is more than $170 billion a year. Yet, only one in four affected adults and one in five children and adolescents in need of mental health services get care.
