The Connection Between Job Satisfaction and Mental Health
In today’s fast-paced work environment, the relationship between job satisfaction and mental health has never been more critical. As professionals navigate their careers, understanding how these two elements interact can significantly enhance overall well-being and productivity. At JFC Global, we believe that fostering a positive work experience is essential not just for career success but also for mental health and wellness.
Who Has Had the Greatest Impact on Your Life?
The Greatest Impact
Can you name the six wealthiest people in the world? How about the seven people who were honored as Time Magazine’s Person of the Year? Can you remember who the Super Bowl MVPs for the past five years were?
My guess is that if you’re like me, you couldn’t come up with more than a name or two. Which by the way, was precisely the point.
Now, can you name a teacher who made an impact on your life? How about a friend or relative who has always been there for you? What about someone who inspired you to be better?
How many hours will you work in a lifetime?
A quick Google search will reveal that we can expect to spend 90,360 hours on the job, working. That is 1/3 of our lives! How do you spend each of those hours? Are you engaged in what you do? Another Google search, and you will find that 70% of U.S. employees are not engaged by their jobs. The scary fact is that 7 in 10 people are exhausting 1/3 of their lives slogging into a job feeling stuck on a treadmill of emptiness. Sounds nonsensical, right?
What Really is Professional Development?
This month’s blog was written by Will Richard of the JFC family. A little about his military service: 4 years in the Army with a year tour in Iraq, Rank: Sergeant, Company: 756th EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), MOS/Job: EOD/Bomb Squad
The term “professional development” can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. In its simplest form, it is the continual process of acquiring new skills and knowledge as it applies to their career. It requires turning your focus inward to self-reflect and take an honest appraisal of yourself.
Vulnerability & Professional Development
What does Professional Development mean to me…
By Jen Silvetti, JFC Workforce Branch Manager
Honestly- I didn’t know what it was until I started working at JFC. Every other job previously was just that, a job. I showed up on time every day and worked to the best of my ability. Not until I joined the JFC work family did my professional and personal worlds collide so drastically.

Leadership Coaching Philosophy: The Employee Engagement Effect
What impact does employee engagement have on organizational performance?
