Corporate Brain Health

A Performance Enhancement Program for the Brains and Talent of Your Company

The New Corporate America

Corporations of all sizes face a new set of challenges:

• 

  The workforce is aging.  By 2010 baby boomers turn 50 at the rate of 11,000 per day (T+D Magazine 4/08).  For many, this still triggers plans of scaling back or retiring to chase dreams rather than climb corporate ladders.
• The availability of replacement talent is not large enough to cover the potential loss of boomers and their knowledge from the workforce.
• Economic challenges have eliminated the capacity and financial margins typically available for turn-over, ramp-up, and slow carefully planned transition.
• With advanced aging of the workforce comes a natural internal and external concern about the loss of cognitive agility, productivity, and dedication. Workers are typically faced with increased responsibility including the caring for aging parents, caring for children, and the often normal diminishment of physical energy.   

Cultivating and maintaining human capital requires a paradigm shift. It is obsolete for employers to somewhat one dimensionally focus on the physical health and wellness of its employees through physical/mental health and fitness management. The economy of New Corporate America requires a multi-dimensional approach;  an approach that incorporates the nuances of outlook, worry, and agility - cognitively, physically, and financially. New Corporate America must use its brain. It must think smart, leverage and maintain the skill, memory and the assets of its workforce.
