show that that habit is hurting their company's image, or business.(And of course all of the employees have to live up to the same standards).

Think about it for a minute. Would you pay money to work out with an obese personal trainer? Would you be treated for lung cancer by a doctor who chain smoked? Would you get a conservative hair cut from a hairdresser who has a mohawk? Maybe you would but you'd sure think twice before doing so.

The fact is our behaviors affect who we are, and who we are portrayed as by others. So it's not a leap to say our behaviors affect our companies and family reputations as well.
