Executive Health
In today's difficult business environment it might be surprising to learn that there remains one rate of growth has not been compromised: Increases in the rate of workplace stress keep going up.
The rates of "lifestyle diseases" are on the increase:- 1 in 2 US males will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
- 40% of North American adults have diabetes.
- Continued increases in the rates of depression
Increasingly, companies and organizations are brought face to face with the impact of the extended loss of personnel in key leadership, executive and managerial roles. When a key role goes unmanned due to personal health reasons, the greatest tragedy is that you have an employee whose well-being suffers, and whose family's well-being suffers.
But personal health issues also strike at the heart of companies. When your leaders are struck by illness, your company suffers the loss too. The lack of leadership means loss of direction, loss of decision-making and visionary expertise, loss of business training and guidance, compromised business relationships, and increased stress in the workplace.
It does not have to be this way!
In a recent article, Dr. Servan-Schreiber, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh and a founding board member of Doctors without Borders, USA had this to say:
85% of cancer is caused by lifestyle choices and exposure.*
