You know you’re in the right place if you’re ready to discover the step-by-step path to maximizing workplace performance through employee health and personal fulfillment.
A truly holistic and all-encompassing program for workplace wellness and performance
Helping dedicated teams to maximize workplace performance by conquering pain, illness, stress, and burnout.
Organizations have the power to make drastic changes in their employees’ health and performance… and this program aims to prove it!
The Convergent Pillars of Wellness and Performance Program consists of 5 workshop sessions, with each session uncovering 1 of 5 essential factors:
Balance stress and recovery
Fuel your body with healing nutrition
Enhance healthy pain-free mobility, strength, endurance, and control
Discover truly restful sleep
Connect with yourself and others in ways you’ve never imagined possible
Although each session may stand alone, each subsequent session builds off the content of the session before.
Participants will be introduced to the background and significance of each pillar as well as practical and realistic step-by-step actions to take. All information is backed up by published research, with all references and quotes provided.
Each live workshop session spans 60-90 minutes including time for questions. Sessions are provided digitally or in person (based on COVID-19 status) so that all can safely and comfortably attend and participate.
Lastly, we can decide on a convenient schedule that works well for your organization and employees. The program is most commonly held at a frequency of 1 class per week for 5 consecutive weeks. But this can be adjusted as needed based on your organization’s needs.
Managing and avoiding unnecessary business expenses is a common goal when running a successful and profitable organization. With that in mind, I’m sure you’ve come to realize just how significant of a spend employee healthcare and insurance is for your organization. Furthermore, the higher the incidence of health and wellness related conditions, the higher the costs of healthcare.
For instance, did you know that the more your employees utilize the healthcare system and their insurance, the more your insurance premiums may rise in subsequent years?
But what if I told you that the majority of chronic diseases accounting for medical care can be either prevented, reduced, stopped or even reversed through lifestyle modifications? In other words, without injections, medications, surgeries, or even supplements!
This is no longer wishful thinking, but rather a research-supported fact widely promoted by the Center of Disease Control and the World Health Organization.
Now let’s transition to an exciting conversation – optimizing your employees’ performance. Through the growth and development of your organization, I’m sure that significant time and effort were spent towards finding and employing talent. After all, your employees are essential for carrying out administrative, marketing, sales, or service delivery tasks that are crucial for business operations.
I believe it’s safe to say that organization leaders expect their employees to bring their “A-Game” each and every day. That way, operations can be fulfilled, new business is achieved, and current business is highly satisfied and well-serviced.
But what happens when your employees don’t make it to work because of a health or wellness related situation (i.e. absenteeism)? That employee’s contribution to overall operations is not being fulfilled, resulting in either worsened business performance or increased stress on the remainder of the employees to fill in the gaps.
Days away from work aren’t the only major issue through. Those employees that have poor health and wellness related conditions and DO make it to work are far less likely to perform at their very best (i.e. presenteeism).
Various negative health and wellness conditions such as depression and anxiety, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and physical pain are just some of the conditions that significantly influence your employees’ ability to focus and concentrate, think clearly, problem solve, and bring innovative ideas to the table.
Over time, it’s not uncommon to witness burn out as employees lose a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment from their work.
“State” is a term used to describe the balance between stress and recovery (both physical and mental). Neither stress nor recovery are necessarily “good” nor “bad,” as you absolutely need both in order to remain healthy, strong, and achieve any form of success.
A balanced state supports balance throughout all systems of your body, including the immune system. Ultimately, regulating your state provides greater control over how you respond to life’s challenges.
This session provides the step-by-step guide to controlling your state by balancing stress and recovery.
Our diet and hydration directly support physical and mental activity, and have a significant influence over the development and healing of our bones, joints, muscles, tendons, nerves, skin, and organs.
Furthermore, nutrition impacts the immune system, body inflammation, rate of healing, and even our emotional and mental well-being.
This session provides the step-by-step guide to supporting your immune system while reducing chronic inflammation and the risk of chronic disease.
We all know that exercise has the power to help us gain strength and manage our weight.
But did you know that there is direct evidence that a LACK of physical activity is a major cause of both mental and physical chronic disease? Additionally, strategically planned physical activity helps to improve memory, concentration, and creativity.
This session provides the step-by-step guide to improving overall health, well being, and performance through physical activity and exercise.
Breakthroughs in research are demonstrating that sleep directly influences your immune system, metabolism, and ability to heal, recover, and perform.
Sleep has also been shown to impact your mental and emotional state, as well as your ability to learn, memorize, and make decisions.
This session provides the step-by-step guide to achieving restful sleep… so you can fall asleep and awaken rested, motivated, and ready to maximize daily performance.
Personal, social, environmental, and physical connections, interactions, and community play a significant role in our state and overall health.
Research shows that loneliness or social isolation may increase body inflammation, anxiety, depression, anti-social behavior, violence, and even reduce the rate at which an individual may recover from injury or disease.
On the other hand, strong connections are directly linked with overall mental and physical health; including immune system function and longevity.
This session provides the step-by-step guide to establishing healthy, authentic, and meaningful connections in ways shown to promote health and well being.
Incorporating an effective health and wellness program in the workplace has the capacity to manage excessive and unnecessary spending while simultaneously improving the overall performance of the organization.
