Energy is the currency for sustainable
outstanding performance and healthy life.
— Dr. Jim Loehr
Human Performance Institute
Increasingly demanding workload and performance requirements, alongside alarming over-time,
over-work, work-life imbalance and deteriorating personal health, show no signs of ease but
intensifying, presenting huge challenges to the professionals of the 21st century. Productivity,
however, has not yet reached levels anywhere near satisfaction.
3. 3
Employers require employees to increase engagement to gain
efficiency, but have difficulties to find where to start
Increasing over-time does not improve performance but brings
fatigue, exhaustion and health problems to the work force, which
further hinders efficiency
Background
Lack of time, too much stress and worries of health are common concerns
at work place; while on the other hand, most staff are low in engagement
and efficiency. With the Y-generation joining the work force, who prefers
more individualism over sacrificing their personal life and hard-working
for employers like their parents did, the issues are worsening. All
organizations, managers and professionals are facing these challenges:
4. 4
And yet, most people are misled by traditional but wrong and sometimes harmful common sense… Amid the worsening
situation, borrowing the most updated scientific research and practices from around the world, we have developed
Human Energy Management training for our corporate clients, aiming to help people break misconceptions, learn and
apply scientific and effective techniques to their work and life, so to continue on an up-track to better performance,
healthier, more balanced and sustainable career and personal life.
Human Energy Management was initially used by professional athletes 30 years ago as basic training, later adopted by
people of stressful and risky jobs such as military special forces, FBI, police, fire fighters, 911 etc. It has been adopted by
the corporate world for over a decade. It is proven to be able to effectively improve efficiency and personal health,
which will produce substantial return to investment in these areas:
Background
Performances: raise people’s potential, improve engagement and efficiency, so to improve performance
Stress management: help people positively manage stress instead of negatively reacting to stress
People development: “Personal Development” in “Leadership Development”
Employer branding: e.g. “Best Place to Work”, “Employee Care/Wellbeing”, “Work-Life Balance” etc.
