Perspective

Performance and health go hand in hand

Sustainable performance depends on people having the conditions to succeed without being worn down.

Core idea

Health and performance share the same organisational foundations.

People can perform at a high level for short periods even when conditions are weak. Sustainable performance requires work to be organised so that people can understand, influence and succeed in their Purpose without being worn down.

This perspective shows why performance and health need to be understood together. When the Purpose is clear, demands are reasonable and dialogue works well, people can contribute with quality over time.

Perspective 05

Sustainable performance emerges when the organisation strengthens the conditions that support both results and people's health.

What this means for organisations

Executives, HR and managers need to see the connection between demands, resources and performance.

In practice, this perspective means tracking how the demands of the work relate to people's actual conditions. Health then becomes an integral part of how sustainable performance is made possible.

Executive leadership

Performance expectations need to be matched with capacity.

Executive leadership needs to understand how objectives, priorities and pressure for change affect the organisation's actual capacity to perform.

HR

Health initiatives are integrated into the work.

HR can contribute by making visible the organisational conditions that strengthen or weaken both performance and health.

Managers

Dialogue picks up early signals.

Managers need to create conversations about workload, clarity, priorities and what the team needs to perform sustainably.
