Do your people have the energy and oxygen to keep pace with work transformations and life demands?

A science-based programme designed to help individuals to skilfully manage their energy so they can live happy, healthy and productive lives both at work and at home.

Technology is transforming work faster than people can adapt. The result? Team members are exhausted, disengaged, and unable to keep up.

Our Behavioural Resilience workshop is based on more than 30 years of performance science and the latest insights into physical, mental and digital wellbeing, neuroscience, positive psychology and behaviour change. It is a combination of knowledge, personal reflection, experience, and an active change process. 

The programme is designed to train individuals to skillfully sustain, renew, and expand their energy to manage and respond to work and life demands, work pressures and distractions and still have energy for what matters most in their life.

The focus is on embedding new habits rather than just giving information and advice, focusing on the WHY and the HOW of Energy Management, as much as the WHAT. The goal is not for participants to just KNOW more, but rather to DO more.

In today’s ongoing swirl of constant changes, technology transformations, information overload and increasingly blurred boundaries; skillful Energy Management is critical at all professional levels to:

“Zest for Work delivers high quality Energy Management learning programmes – both face to face and virtual – that supports us to shift behaviours and culture @ MARS to one that breathes and sustains high energy and wellbeing.”

Zests delivers the HPI Corporate Athlete training (internally branded as Behavioural Resilience) at Mars since 2018, everywhere in Europe and Russia. Over 1,000 employees were trained in 6 different languages either face to face and virtually since 2020. Their trainers are absolute experts in the field and provide the human touch needed during the virtual classrooms. I do not foresee us ever moving back to 100% face to face sessions!

Thanks to this programme, we are shifting behaviours and culture @ MARS to one that breathes and sustains high energy and well-being. Our course study data shows that pre-course only 13% of Associates were fully energised. 6 weeks post course, 45% of the participants reported to be fully energised. An increase of 245%.

On top of this, Zest moves beyond delivery, unburdening our team and functions as a strategic implementation partner by supporting our rollout expansion to new languages and locations worldwide. I love their flexibility, and also important for me, they are easy and fun to work with!

The Behavioural Resilience programme was a game changer for me, It helped me reconnect with what truly fuels me - not just professionally, but personally: The holistic approach and the space for reflection allowed me to make subtle but powerful shifts that continue to shape how I show up in my daily life.

“I learnt about how I could increase my energy levels (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual) and why it is so important, but also how to really implement change and how to embed new habits into routine.”

I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Behavioural Resilience' programme and was pleasantly surprised about how well it worked online. The instructors were very engaging and did well to create an open and dynamic atmosphere virtually where people felt comfortable and happy to share their personal experiences.

I found it a welcome break from the fast pace of work/life, offering a unique opportunity for self-reflection and increased self-awareness. I not only learnt about how I could increase my energy levels across the four pillars (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual) and why it is so important but also how to really implement change in my life with tips about how to embed new habits into routine. The course’s varied approach using virtual tools such as online breakout rooms, private buddy conversations, drawing boards, videos worked well to keep us all engaged throughout.
