Link, Wellbeing & Performance?

The question is what has workplace performance got to do with wellbeing?

At Mad for Health we know the answer is “everything”.

There is an overlap, a link, an interdependency between performance and wellbeing.

If you want quality workplace performance you need to invest in enabling wellbeing.

It is why investment in a targeted Corporate Performance-Wellbeing Program is an essential part of a company’s talent management plan.

Wellbeing to enable performance?

Wellbeing that enables optimal workplace performance is distinguished by excellence in five areas:

1. Thinking; agile, relevant and focused in problem solving and decision making
2. Relating capacity; engaged, motivated and collaborative, able to influence others
3. Doing capacity; energised and productive despite work demands ebbs and flows
4. Future focused; self directed, solutions and future focused, able to anchor to vision and priorities.
5. Self aware; have insight and understanding of how beliefs, values, perceptions and attitudes shape wellbeing and performance choices.

Programs are designed to enable wellbeing for high performance.
