People sustainability drives and sustains the growth of an organisation; it builds sustainability into business performance. People need to feel that their careers and the quality of their lives are sustainable within that business and it is how its leaders lead that is foundational to this sense of sustainability.
One of the great but surmountable challenges currently facing businesses is leadership capacity. Leadership capacity to deliver operational excellence, drive growth amid constant change and all the while maintain the focus, energy and empathy required to lead and manage their people in a humanised way - leading by how they make their people feel.

Our vision at CHX is of a World full of higher performing, more engaged, kinder organisations, with Leadership and Management able to create pro-social, highly engaged environments that enable their people to achieve all their career aspirations whilst staying and feeling well.
Building sustainable business cultures requires a new approach and how our people are doing and how our people feel sits at the heart of this sustainability. Health biases how they connect with the purpose of the organisation, how they connect with their leaders, how they connect with each other and how they connect with the needs of the business. Feelings signal the health of an organisation and feelings drive performance. Feelings are misunderstood; feelings are hard biological data.

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
J Krishnamurti
The outdated model of Resilience places responsibility for health solely on the individual. It assumes a person's mental or physical health issues are a pathological response to a healthy environment.
CHX take a different view; that health of an organisation is about shared responsibility between the individual, leadership and the working environment and that in many businesses, mental or physical poor health is actually often (paradoxically) a healthy response to a pathological environment.
Good health depends on individual, collective and institutional practices, and give that it critically underpins high performance, it needs to be lead from the top and applied throughout.
