Abstract
This paper develops the case for an emphasis on character development in the workplace. A practical training program is described that has helped other businesses overcome surface problems of absenteeism, violence, theft, dishonesty, high turnover, and excessive workers' compensation claims by training the work force in character development. A discussion of motivational aspects affecting the physical, emotional and mental work environment follows several success stories for the character training program. These aspects include demonstrating a profound respect for every individual, showing gratitude in the workplace and learning to effectively praise the work force. The final section defines a management philosophy based on sound principles that produce motivated individuals of strong character, creating a successful organization. Recommendations for implementation finalize this paper
