Recreational Music Making (RMM) for Working Adults

Recreational Music Making (RMM) has been scientifically proven to help the U.S. workplace by:

Reducing employee stress
Reducing employee depression
Reducing employee burnout
Improving employee retention

• Employee stress is expensive for companies and widespread. Research shows that the economic impact is estimated at $300 billion each year (Source: New York Times). Experts claim that 60 to 90 percent of doctor visits involve stress-related complaints.
• Engaging in RMM reduces stress. RMM has been shown to reverse the body’s response to stress at the DNA level (Source: Dr. Barry Bittman).
• Depression is widespread in the workforce and is expensive for companies. The economic impact of depression in the workplace is estimated at $34 billion annually—$11 billion for treatment, $11 billion in decreased productivity, and $12 billion in absenteeism. Depression affects about 19 million people, 70 percent of whom are in the workforce. (Figures are according to Braun Consulting News).
• Engaging in RMM reduces depression. Recent research with long-term care workers showed reduced depression (21.8 percent) six weeks after the completion of an RMM program consisting of one hour per week. (Source: A 2003 study conducted by Trip Umbach Healthcare Consulting, Inc.)
• RMM can help companies reduce turnover, saving them millions. The research with long-term care workers showed an 18.3 percent overall reduction of employee turnover by implementing an RMM program. The total annual savings was projected at $1.46 billion.

Every worker can participate in RMM. There are no physical limitations or requirements.

if you create a Debug configuration from your product file, in my case CDOServer.product, then

1. you go an select the Plug-ins tab in the Debug Configuration

2. then click "Add Required plug-ins"

it may build a dependency that just does not work.

It seems you have do step 1 above, then

2. "Deselect All"

3. Select your own package

4. Click "Add Required plug-ins" a few times until the number of required plugins stop increasing, see the display "x out of y selected"
