Work is an important part of society. At an early age, children are asked what they want to be when they grow up. Adults get-to-know each other by asking what someone does for a living. Having a satisfying and fulfilling job can help employees have better mental and physical health. On the other hand, not having a job, or being underemployed, can lead to poor mental and physical health. Today’s best managers know that employees make many decisions about their work, both voluntarily and involuntarily, and they help employees transition successfully from one job opportunity to another.
