Do you strive for a resilient workforce and

do you understand that this also involves personal puzzles at home and that a medical approach falls short?


Are you seeking effective strategies for engaging with the millennial workforce?

Our society has undergone significant changes, yet many employers fail to adapt accordingly. Today's employees have a new vision for their working lives, prioritizing a better work-life balance. 'Success' is no longer solely defined by their career achievements but also by personal fulfillment. Remote work may be preferred, and individuals increasingly have diverse home situations. The rise in single-person households, single-parent families, and informal caregivers (projected to increase) exemplifies these shifts.

 

Organizational effectiveness is now intricately linked to the unwritten rules of employees' personal lives, not just their work environment. Without a balanced private life and conducive mini-cultures that foster fulfillment and peace, a high-performing workforce cannot be sustained. Offering a medical approach, sports facilities, or career coaching alone cannot influence these unwritten rules at home.


It is important to create a positive environment in both the organizational culture and at home to ensure individuals are well-supported, engaged, and able to thrive. Balancing both aspects can lead to improved well-being, productivity, and overall success.

The social contract between employers and employees has changed

Let's talk

CYC is a step-by-step online program for vital mini-cultures at home

In today's fast-paced world, employees prioritize their personal well-being and work-life balance more than ever. However, the challenges of modern life - from increasing divorce rates to rising costs and the demands of a technology-driven society - can create significant stress. The old answer is that the balance in the personal world is up to the employee himself and help via an occupational health service comes into the picture when the employee has not been able to solve the personal puzzle for a long time and there is (threatened) absence. Occupational health services remain necessary for these situations. 

The new answer with CYC is that the employer can facilitate his employee to bring and keep his personal world fulfilling and balanced. A necessity for the vitality of the workforce.


With the CYC program, employees have the opportunity to (re)design their own lives across all life areas — Health, Self, Social, and Wealth.

Short tour in the program (video 2 min) 

But we already have a lot on offer?

The added value of CYC is that:

            1. It helps shape all areas of life;
            2. It ensures sustainable improvement by embedding it in the culture of everyday life
            3. Employees adopt a personal approach that achieves the desired result with the least effort;
            4. It generates motivation and identifies improvement actions so that existing offerings are used sooner
            5. The personal approach can be supplemented with ingredients within the existing (vitality) range; existing offer is better utilized. 


The CYC program empowers employees to proactively shape every aspect of their lives, including sense of self, social relationships, health and wealth. 

Built on proven scientific principles and extensive experience, this program transcends mere intentions by addressing the influence of culture. Embedding healthier habits like diet and exercise into one's daily routine is the only way for long-term success. By guiding individuals to gradually transform their personal mindset and habits, the program fosters lasting change and enables employees to become more resilient and productive.




Culture eats good intentions for breakfast.


Sustainable change is therefore a

cultural change.


An example

Robin has been experiencing a lot of stress at work for a long time and when he comes home, there are jobs waiting to make the kitchen and living room really livable. There is often a lot of complaining about how it doesn't get done and what doesn't help is that Robin's mother-in-law needs more and more care. This also requires attention and time for him and his partner. Due to understaffing at work, Robin is often still busy in the evenings. He doesn't get enough exercise and often cancels his evening of football with old friends. Robin feels inadequate in all areas. Robin knows that things cannot continue like this for long, but he also doesn't know how to do it differently and where to start. Robin also no longer knows what he actually wants; everything seems to revolve around work and others.


In the CYC program, Robin becomes crystal clear within an hour what is really important to him, in each of the 4 life areas: Self, Social, Health and Wealth. He feels that his important values: adventure, fun together and conviviality hardly have any meaning in his current life. He also discovers that he feels very differently in almost all Life Areas than he would like to feel. He then discovers which unwritten rules he has as limiting beliefs that prevent him from saying 'no' to anything and avoiding the real conversation. He also realizes that he often feels poor even though he earns enough. At that moment he sees the open pipes and the kitchen cabinets without doors. The program makes Robin realize how he maintains this stressful situation and how he also plays a major role in the often unpleasant atmosphere at home. At the end of the program, Robin knows exactly what to do. The structure of the program and the 5 Windows of Change have led to a single page on which his personal actions are formulated.


Windows of Change: Context: Robin has called a handyman who comes until everything is perfect. Mental: Robin has insight into his beliefs and role in crazy 8's and decides to take a mindfulness course. Emotion: playing football with friends has been declared a saint, and he plans something fun/adventurous with his wife every month.

Robin uses the Mindfulness training at the 'academy' and the anti-stress training 'saying no'.

3 months later, Robin looks back and realizes that he was closer to burnout than he realized at the time. At home there is peace and space for fun. Robin has more energy because he recharges with his friends and exercises more. Collaboration is better at work; Robin promises less and is better able to keep his agreements. He feels like the director of his own work and life again.

5 Windows of Change give insights and tools for an upgrade of all Life Areas 

Also for teams and for the organization?

The program is completed individually.

Good teams and organizations can be built with people who are individually vital and can reflect on their own role and contribution. The program can therefore also be used to improve teams and organizations. If there is a specific need to work on team or organizational culture, please contact us so we can discuss your issues and how we can help.



Aren't employees able to improve their personal vitality and choose from existing offerings?

Hoping that employees will improve their 4 Life Areas all by themselves is not an effective strategy. Self-reflection, grasping one's own situation and knowing and doing what really helps is given to few and is often a time-consuming job. Coaching is expensive, is often a barrier and less flexible than an online program available anytime, anywhere - even at home. In addition, coaches often have a certain expertise and rarely touch all Windows of Change. While the integrated approach largely explains the success of our approach. By the way, coaches can play an important role, separately or in combination with the program! Below we have listed the pros and cons of leaving it to employees to tackle their vitality themselves, the CYC program, a personal coach, and live (group sessions):

Reviews

Rob de Velde (Change Manager)

This program provides deep insights into your own behavior and sphere of influence. This is also invaluable for changes that organizations have to go through almost continuously. The chance that people will actively contribute to this and in any case remain afloat increases enormously.

This was a life changing course! I really enjoyed my experience. I grew up in a household that was always hyper and unregulated (decisions and emotions). I have never realized before how these patterns still influence my daily life. CYC has made me realize how I keep repeating the patterns myself and how I can break them. A game changer!

Hanneke Sonderen (End User)

I really recommend this program! It is easy to follow and you feel that it was made with a lot of knowledge and love. It is very practical and gives me a boost every time I complete a part of the program.

It gives me focus for what I want in life and helped me choose the steps I want to take in my career.

This is a life-changing program and also easy to follow and translate into everyday life. It can also continue to improve and upgrade my relationships for many years to come.

What a great program, so valuable for your home!

Annieck Vennegoor (End User)

Before joining the CYC program, I lacked awareness of the impact I had on the culture of my home and my overall happiness. I used to feel like I was merely a product of the atmosphere, without the ability to make changes. The most significant benefit I gained from CYC was learning that I have the power to influence my environment and well-being in the present moment. The program offered valuable insights and practical tools, empowering me to take control of my happiness. I no longer rely on luck or external factors, but instead, I can proactively shape my own happiness using simple and easily implementable tools and techniques. This newfound knowledge is invaluable to me and has made a lasting impact on my life. Priceless!!

Rob Eigenhuysen (Care professional)

The power of this approach is that it looks at the complete picture; Of course, something like a burnout does not have just one cause and the solution often lies in several areas at the same time.

Nico Dwidjono (HR manager)

This online application provides insights about personal development in a practical step-by-step format. Personally, being able to track my progress motivates me. The virtual environment speaks for itself. It creates a safe, quiet workspace that invites you to take your personal growth to the next phase in your offline (work) life reality.

Wendy Johnson (GP)

Going through this program can help people who struggle with finding a good work-life balance to set priorities and regain that balance. It can therefore play an important role in the prevention of mental and lifestyle-related complaints and there is less need to rely on the general practitioner and company doctor.
