Lifeguard Academy: Make vitality your business strategy and reduce absenteeism

In a healthy organization, energy is buzzing. People work with enthusiasm, feel connected, and perform better as a result. Energized employees are the driving force behind successful companies. But how do you create an organization where employees truly feel vital and absenteeism is structurally reduced? Lifeguard Academy offers targeted training programs that help you and your organization strategically integrate energy and vitality for sustainable success.

Why energy and vitality are essential

At Lifeguard, we strongly believe in the philosophy: “Healthy people, healthy business.” Vital employees not only feel better, but they also perform better. This translates directly into better business results, reduced absenteeism, and higher engagement. Moreover, energy spreads like a virus within an organization: when one employee feels energetic and vital, it is contagious to others. This positive energy leads to a dynamic work culture where people inspire and challenge each other to bring out the best in themselves.

Lifeguard Academy: Courses

At Lifeguard Academy, we have developed three specialized programs that make vitality a core value within your organization while structurally reducing absenteeism:

  1. Mental Resilience Expert

Stress and mental pressure are major challenges in modern organizations. When stress persists for too long, it inevitably leads to absenteeism. The Mental Resilience Expert program equips participants with practical strategies to manage stress and actively improve employee well-being.

Over the course of four days within approximately four months, you will develop skills to make mental health a topic of conversation within your organization. Additionally, you’ll learn from inspiring examples from other companies. The goal is not only to become resilient yourself but also to inspire others as an ambassador and keep vitality on the agenda. This program is ideal for HR professionals, team leaders, and employees passionate about topics like vitality and mental health.

  1. NES Team coaching

Effective teams are the foundation of successful organizations. However, teams sometimes don’t function optimally due to a lack of energy, internal tensions, or unclear goals. The NES Team Coaching program from Lifeguard uses the proven NES method (Net Energy Score). You’ll learn not only how to measure energy within teams but also how to optimize it strategically to reduce absenteeism.

In this in-depth training (seven days spread over nine months), you’ll learn to guide teams toward more energy, collaboration, and better performance. The NES method offers a practical and measurable approach that is directly applicable to your organization. This program is especially suitable for experienced team coaches, organizational consultants, and leaders who want to use energy as a strategic tool to sustainably improve vitality and team performance.

  1. CxO program: ‘The art of energetic leadership’

Improving vitality and reducing absenteeism also requires strong leadership. Leaders set the tone and serve as important role models. The CxO Program from Lifeguard Academy is specifically designed for top management and executives who want to use energy as a strategic driver within their organization.

During this intensive and reflective program, consisting of two inspiring 24-hour sessions and two intervision sessions over approximately six months, you will work on your personal leadership style and discover how to manage your energy effectively. Individual coaching by an experienced executive coach adds extra impact to the program. By being more mindful of your own energy, you can sustainably inspire employees, reduce absenteeism, and build a powerful, vital organizational culture.

Vitality as a business strategy

Lifeguard deliberately chooses not to treat energy as a ‘bonus’ but as a strategic element that directly contributes to achieving business goals. By integrating vitality into your business strategy, you not only reduce absenteeism but also improve productivity, engagement, and the well-being of your employees. Energy is key: it is actionable, tangible, and measurable. By making this approach visible and tangible within your organization, you effectively transform vitality into sustainable performance.

With Lifeguard Academy, vitality becomes more than just a background theme. It becomes the driving force behind your business strategy. Whether it’s mental resilience, strong team dynamics, or energetic leadership – Lifeguard Academy’s courses provide you and your organization with the tools to reduce absenteeism and bring out the best in your people.
