LINCOLNSHIRE, Illinois, July 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- Innovative Campaign Offers Hope to Millions Of Workers Worldwide

- May Help Reduce the US$300 Billion Employers Pay Annually Due To 
Job Stress

Would you like to see job dissatisfaction retired? You're not alone.
Research suggest 60% to 87% of people who work in the United States are
dissatisfied with their jobs, and the proportion may be higher in France,
England and Sweden, with the lowest morale existing in Germany and Japan. The
problem is so bad, the American Institute on Stress reports chronic stress
adds over US$300 billion each year to cover absenteeism, employee turnover,
diminished productivity, medical, legal and insurance expenses and Workers'
Compensation payments.

A campaign to retire job dissatisfaction was announced today by 29-year
human resources veteran, Jeff Garton, author and president of Career
Contentment, Inc., a Chicago-based career coaching firm.

"The campaign issues a wake up call by reminding people not everything is
perfect or within your ability to control, and it's unrealistic to expect
employers to satisfy everyone," said Garton. "However, you can always
recognize your own career contentment. I've taken my experience and training
in HR and applied it to developing this new concept, and I'm sure it's going
to shake up traditional views on employment and career, but in ways that are
needed."

The campaign is critical because generations of workers have been plagued
by the same dissatisfactions for decades, and despite employer attempts to
resolve them. A report released February by the Conference Board indicated
"the decline in job satisfaction has occurred over a period of two decades,
with little to suggest a significant reversal in attitudes anytime soon."

The public can learn more about the campaign and join by visiting
http://www.careercontentment.com. This web site will serve as a one-stop site
with a collection of articles and audio downloads, podcast feeds, and an
opportunity to participate in a blog that allows the public to learn about
career contentment, and share experiences without releasing company or
individual names.

The campaign is being launched simultaneously in the U.S. and Europe.
Campaign leader, Jeff Garton will also be hosting a weekly internet radio
program "Career Contentment Radio" on the VoiceAmerica Network
http://www.voiceamerica.com starting on August 16 at 2 p.m. Central Daylight
Time, and again 2 a.m. Central Daylight Time for overseas listeners.
