  • That's me, breaking a sweat at the gym.

  • I'm not skiving off work, well, kind of, but it's all in the name of research.

  • I'm looking for a solution to a common workplace problem: Burnout.

  • Burnout: It's an issue that's been grabbing headlines over recent years,

  • as more people are acknowledging the pressures of work.

  • Burnout can occur for a multitude of reasons.

  • Some people can be physically exhausted, other people mentally, emotionally, spiritually exhausted.

  • But now the term has taken on a whole new significance after the World Health Organization

  • officially recognized it as an 'occupational phenomenon' in May.

  • Defined as a chronic stress condition, the WHO says it is characterized by feelings of exhaustion,

  • distance from one's job, and reduced professional efficacy.

  • And the costs can be great.

  • Last year at work, I did feel like I was reaching the limit.

  • According to one Deloitte study, 77% of U.S. workers have reported experiencing

  • burnout at their current jobs, hurting individual well-being and costing businesses billions

  • in lost productivity and healthcare expenses.

  • In fact, the phenomenon has even spawned its own multi-billion-dollar industry,

  • which is expected to generate revenues of $8.6 billion by 2025,

  • through innovative programs and apps promoting mindfulness.

  • But could it be that a more than 30-year-old training course,

  • originally designed for the military and professional athletes, holds the solution?

  • I'm at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute in Singapore to find out.

  • The Human Performance Institute is an organization focused on driving the performance of individuals,

  • and ultimately organizations, by focusing on their holistic health.

  • It was founded in the early nineties by a clinical psychologist and an exercise physiologist,

  • who met at the U.S. Open Tennis tournament.

  • Together, Jim Loehr and Jack Groppel combined their decades of experience to pioneer a new

  • kind of training that sought to boost human energy by focusing not only on physical strength

  • but on emotional, mental and spiritual strength, too.

  • Over the years, they trained many athletes, 16 world number ones.

  • They were then asked to train SWOT teams, FBI hostage teams and the police departments,

  • and then they moved more into the business world.

  • That's when the CEO of Johnson & Johnson went to Orlando,

  • our headquarters and took the flagship two-and-a-half day performance course.

  • After that course, with his executive committee, Johnson & Johnson ended up buying the company.

  • In the years since, HPI has created a range of courses focused onhuman energy,”

  • by integrating performance psychology, exercise physiology and nutrition.

  • HPI says that gives course participants, also known ascorporate athletes,”

  • better techniques to manage life's stresses, both in and outside of work.

  • We know from our scientific studies that participants have a greater sense of purpose,

  • we give them more energy, greater sense of well-being, and we actually improve their sleep as well.

  • What that means for them as humans is that they're more present.

  • As an employee, it drives their performance.

  • And, from an employer perspective, that you get an amazingly engaged workforce.

  • HPI's courses can last anywhere from one day to nine months, attracting everyone from professionals

  • to entrepreneurs and artists, including Fortune 500 CEOs, surgeons and Olympic gold medalists.

  • I embarked on this course because I primarily look after employee well-being.

  • Frankie Goh was one of 13 participants taking part

  • in the flagship two-and-a-half day 'Performance' course during my visit.

  • Definitely very keen to understand how our employees can actually better use energy

  • so that they can have quality time both on professional and personal.

  • Participants are required to fill out a series of self-assessment forms,

  • before receiving a performance report, and partaking in a series of physical and theoretical classes.

  • Talk me through the structure of the program.

  • Sure, so the two-and-a-half day program is all about unleashing human potential.

  • By doing that, we allow them to experience stress recovery

  • but in a really safe, effective and efficient environment.

  • Practically, what does that look like?

  • We have four workouts across the two-and- a-half days, which people can meet with

  • positive emotions and sometimes negative emotions, but it's a growth experience.

  • We teach people to be more mindful in the emotional part of the program.

  • We ask them to be more focused mentally and to think about mindset shifts around multitasking.

  • In the spiritual space, we ask them to find their purpose and discover their 'why.'

  • The training doesn't come cheap though.

  • HPI's two-and-a-half day 'Performance' course costs $5,200.

  • So what are some of the key takeaways?

  • Specifically in the physical part of the program, we recommend a one to two-minute movement

  • break every hour, and that comes under our model of moving more.

  • We also recommend exercise smarter, so exercise to a point of discomfort

  • which is promoted through interval training.

  • We also recommend people sleep better, so a recommendation of seven to nine hours per-night

  • of consistent and high-quality sleep.

  • And, lastly, to fuel the body for energy, that's nutrition.

  • So eat light, small amounts, eat often, every three or four hours,

  • and listen to the body, when you're full, stop eating.

  • However, as people and organizations become more aware of the perils of burnout,

  • individuals and businesses are investing more and more in personal well-being.

  • And HPI says it only expects appetite to grow in the U.S., Asia and beyond.

  • We know that the topic of stress and burnout is not going to go away.

  • With flexible working arrangements, with globalization of businesses and connected technologies,

  • this is going to continue to impact current workforces and workforces for the future.

That's me, breaking a sweat at the gym.
