The Biology of Performance

It is important that your employees are fit, both physically and mentally. Fit employees have a positive effect on important KPIs. For example, they ensure lower absenteeism, higher productivity and lower error rates. Of course, we all know that lifestyle is important in order to be both physically and mentally fit. Yet it turns out that many people can still make considerable improvements to their lifestyle. Simple improvements that do not require too much effort and that contribute to better performance. In this session Jérôme will explain in an accessible way why lifestyle is so important and which simple actions we can immediately implement to improve our lifestyle and thus our performance. In this session, Jérôme therefore answers questions such as: How do you improve your sleep hygiene? How do you ensure sufficient physical activity? How do you maintain a varied eating pattern?

The Psychology of Performance

Stability is a great thing. Being able to make choices without panic. Not letting setbacks get you down. Being in the process, even when things are not going well, or when things simply go badly. If this goes well for your employees, then you are blessed with an excellent work force. In fact, employees who are feeling well create good work relationships, show consistent performance and have a constructive outlook, a number of things that contribute positively to important KPIs such as a pleasant work atmosphere and high productivity. In this lecture, Jerome will discuss a number of aspects that make you feel good about yourself mentally.
