When people lose their strength, the organisation loses its future.

It often begins quietly. A brief glance into space. A voice that sounds tired. A meeting where people talk, but no real connection is made. Managers who bear responsibility while their own energy dwindles. Employees who complete tasks but are hardly affected internally. The world of work has changed. It has become faster, denser and more complex. Constant availability, high expectations, increasing pressure to perform. Many people have long been operating at the limits of their resilience. And organisations are sensing that the previous way of leading, developing and supporting is no longer sufficient.

Recent surveys by SECO highlight this reality: around 30% of the working population feel emotionally exhausted. Over 60% show symptoms of burnout. The psychological impact on productivity in Switzerland is estimated at CHF 17 billion per year. These figures clearly demonstrate that stress is no longer an individual issue – it is a systemic one.

Studies show that investing in health, resilience and personal development pays off. Soft skills training significantly increases productivity. Workplace health measures increase employee and customer loyalty. The return on investment is measurable. And more importantly, it is noticeable in everyday life.

Sustainable organisations are not created by more efficient processes alone.
They are created where people rediscover their strength. Where self-management is encouraged.
Where mental strength grows. Where communication becomes clearer and relationships become more sustainable.

Resilient and self-effective employees are able to deal confidently with uncertainty, pressure and change. They make sound decisions. They remain present even in turbulent times. They take responsibility – for themselves, for teams and for the common direction. But these skills do not develop on their own. They need space for reflection. Processes that enable inner clarity.

When personal development is consciously shaped, culture changes.
Energy returns. Collaboration becomes more genuine. Trust grows. Leadership becomes more human. Teams find new creativity. Conflicts become resolvable. Change becomes manageable instead of threatening.

Those who have the courage to invest in development, resilience and self-management today will not only achieve economic success. They will also create healthy, powerful and sustainable organisations.

Because strong organisations emerge where people are allowed to grow.

And that is precisely where the power of lasting change lies.
