Orlando, FL (ContentDesk via HRMarketer ) July 13, 2006 -- What is the link between employee wellness and on-the-job performance? Thats one of the questions reporter Cait Murphy of Fortune Magazine asked herself as she participated in the energy management training for executives at the Human Performance Institute in Orlando, FL. Murphys independent report, titled "The CEO Workout," appears in the July 10, 2006 edition of Fortune . Murphy spent two-and-one-half days immersed in this mind-body approach to energy balancing, during which she reports a number of perspective-shifting insights: Stress is good, eat every two or three hours, incorporate rituals for rest and recovery, and, for optimal performance, manage energy, not time. To answer the question of employee productivity, she seeks out the observations of executives Steve Altmiller, CEO of the San Juan Regional Medical Center in Farmington, N.M., Kirk Perry, a VP at Procter and Gamble, and Brent Hayward, a participant from Starbucks. Each discusses his experiences with the techniques taught in the program and gives his perspective on the positive impact of energy management training on the employees who participate.
