Intuit-owned Mint.com is heading to schools today with the launch of a free, online program designed to educate middle-school students about personal finance and financial management.
Mint has partnered with educational publisher Scholastic to develop materials that parents and teachers can use to teach children the ins and outs of personal finance management. The materials includes lesson plans as well as an interactive game, to teach children money management, budgeting and goals.
For example, the program teaches children the concept of compound interest with real-life math problems, and encourages children to set goals and budgets with their own current work opportunities (i.e. babysitting).
Mint says the curriculum will be expanded to 30,000 classrooms nationwide early next year. Considering the state of the economy and credit, teaching children financial literacy and sounds personal finance practices at an early edge is an incredibly important initiative. In terms of branding, this is a big win for Mint, which can start building awareness of its tools among students at an early age.
What do you expect of the morale in the workplace under this environment?
The morale in the workplace definitely sinks. The employees are unhappy and they do their best to sabotage the company.
The management has to cope with high turnover. The recruitment cost increases, and the profitability decreases.
The best company does not need so many policies to police the employees. The best company provide a trusting environment for the employees to work, and the management supports and grooms the employees instead of finding reasons to fire them.
The morale in the workplace is at all time high.
That is why high morale is a reflection of good management. The employees will reward company by going the extra mile.
Low morale is the concrete proof of bad management style. The management sees employees as problems instead of resources.
