Team coaching: boost vitality and reduce absenteeism within your organization

Healthy people, healthy teams, healthy business results. At Lifeguard, we believe that energized employees are key to business success. Not only because vitality is essential for individual performance, but also because energized teams perform better in the long run. The higher the vitality within the team, the lower the absenteeism. This may seem obvious, but how do you achieve this in practice?

Our proven approach to team coaching ensures that energy, motivation, and team dynamics become visible and manageable. With the guidance of our experienced team coaches, employees work towards specific energy goals, so they continue to perform not just today, but tomorrow and beyond.

Vitality: The driving force of sustainable performance

Vitality goes beyond just health. It encompasses physical energy, mental sharpness, and emotional resilience. Energized employees transmit positive energy to others. Vitality is contagious and acts as a catalyst that inspires teammates, resulting in higher engagement, more joy, and ultimately better performance and reduced absenteeism.

At Lifeguard, we implement “Energy as a strategy.” This makes it clear that energy and vitality are not merely nice-to-haves but strategic core values that measurably contribute to the success of your organization. Team coaching helps manage this energy effectively and apply it toward shared goals and ambitions.

The approach: Concrete, measurable and results-driven

Our programs are clear, action-oriented, and lead to sustainable change. Using our Net Energy Score (NES), we make the vitality within your team concretely measurable. This insight allows for targeted action, such as structurally reducing absenteeism and combating energy loss.

A typical Lifeguard team coaching program consists of three sessions spread over approximately four months:

Step 1: Intake & NES Measurement

We always start with an extensive intake with the manager. During this session, we clarify the reason for the program. Is absenteeism too high? Is there a lack of energy within the team? Or does high workload result in reduced performance? Based on the intake, we select the most suitable team coach to guide the program.

Using our scientifically backed NES measurement, we assess the team’s vitality in detail beforehand. This provides a clear baseline, which we will later use to track progress throughout the program.

Step 2: Action-Oriented Approach

Our programs are characterized by a practical approach: no long theoretical sessions, but rather hands-on, direct action. From the first session, employees work on concrete goals and actions to boost their own energy and that of the team. Our coaches facilitate this process with current insights and practical experience, but the ownership lies with the team itself. This ensures lasting change.

From experience, we know this approach energizes employees. They feel heard and valued, which translates into higher motivation and lower absenteeism rates.

Step 3: Monitoring and Sustainable Integration
After a few months, another NES measurement is conducted. This shows the progress made and which goals have been achieved. The results are not only felt but also measurable. This encourages the team to continue on their current path, ensuring sustainable improvement in vitality and a structural reduction in absenteeism.

Our experienced team coaches

Team coaching stands or falls with the quality and experience of the coaches. That’s why we work exclusively with highly experienced professionals who understand the realities of the workplace and have walked in the shoes of employees themselves. They know that vitality goes beyond just preventing illness; it’s about actively managing energy, motivation, and engagement within teams.

Moreover, our coaches create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every employee can thrive. It’s this approach that makes our programs successful.
