A process for healthy office lifestyle habits that managers quietly work around has already failed. Most disputes about lifestyle habits begin as a conversation that was handled badly. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this strand of people management and development in an order their organisation can absorb. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in healthy office lifestyle habits rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Organisations that document the people management and development capability properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The difficulty is not agreeing that lifestyle habits matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It concentrates on the parts of healthy office lifestyle habits that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It suits anyone whose decisions touch lifestyle habits, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of people management and development rather than a set of notes.
