If your employees are distracted in the workplace, there’s a good chance it’s due to relationship problems at home, according to a study by ComPsych Corporation.
The study asked employees what their biggest distraction is at work, to which 22% cited personal relationship issues.
“Relationship problems continue to be a top reason for calls to ComPsych,” said Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz, Chairman and CEO of ComPsych. “These issues, when they happen, can occupy a significant amount of a person’s time and attention, making it very difficult to focus at work.
