“Joe was an inspiration! The sessions with Joe were fun and interactive. He gave us valuable tools to carry forward."
In a crazy-busy world, attention is one of the first things to go. Since attention is our chief productivity tool, that takes a toll on performance. As demands increase, it requires more effort (and strain that leads to stress and fatigue) to get the work done.
Our employee wellness programs help your team avoid that circuit and the reflex reactions, emotions, anxiety and negative thoughts that come with it. They learn to manage any challenge by managing their minds, time, deadlines, and energy. They get strategies that make them healthier mentally and physically, and smarter in how they do their work.
We unleash peak minds and people, performing at their absolute best.
All roads to health and wellness lead to keeping our cognitive faculties in tip-top shape. Our tools for mind and thought management make sure your team is in charge of demands, instead of the demands being in charge of them. The mind has a mind of its own and a pile of thinking traps, so we have to tell it what we want it to do.
Work-life balance is critical to wellness. It's about finding ways for a better work-life fit. People who are able to take care of their home responsibilities and grab some life are much more healthy, recharged, and satisfied at work, studies show. A survey from the Corporate Executive Board found that people who feel they have good work-life balance work 21% harder than colleagues.
Our wellness program gives your team tools from the science to create a work-life fit that increases both productivity and quality of life outside work.
It doesn't make sense for employee wellness programs to prescribe healthy options without doing something about the work practices that activate the survival gear, such as stress and overwhelm. Our program does that, giving your team tools to work smarter and more effectively, driving stress down and productivity up. We identify the bottlenecks, provide solutions from the research, and develop process improvements that make everyone's work and life easier. Participants get tools to:
• Control email and information overload
• Increase teamwork
• Improve time management
• Manage interruptions and distractions
• Build time estimation skills
• Get more done faster
• Reduce crisis mentality
• Increase focus and attention
What if your team knew how to turn off the stress response immediately, instead of hanging onto stressful thoughts for days or weeks? We show them how. When you turn off the false danger signal, the activation of stress stops in 3 minutes. Your team gets a host of tools, from thought labeling to the reality response and expert mindfulness training to build mental toughness and resilience.
There's another key component of wellness and success: emotional balance. Studies show we need the right emotional math for optimal functioning. We need 3 positive emotions to every 1 negative to avoid negative rumination and pessimism. At work, the highest performers have a 6 to 1 positive to negative ratio. Our wellness program provides great tools from the positive psychology science to change attitudes, moods, and outlook. This segment of the training is super-inspirational.
Humans are made to move their bodies. Sedentary lifestyles create health problems and psychological ones. Our wellness program guides your team to strategies from the work recovery science—from the most effective mental resets at work to refueling activities and hobbies they can do after work. They are crucial to return the body to pre-stressor levels. They also increase positive mood and leisure skills. We feel we're engaged with life. If you have a passion, it can add 8 hours of joy to your week. We match people with activities they'd like to do and give them the discipline to stick with it through intrinsic motivation skills.
