Reducing Stress, Sickness and Improving the Efficiency of your Organisation
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places a duty on Employers to safeguard the health, safety and well-being of all workers.
Employers are, therefore, required to recognise where stress is becoming a problem for staff, and take action to reduce stress. Stress in the workplace reduces productivity, increases management pressures, and makes people ill in many ways, evidence of which is still increasing. Workplace stress affects the performance of the brain, including functions of work performance; memory, concentration, and learning. In the UK over 13 million working days are lost every year because of stress. Stress is believed to trigger 70% of visits to doctors, and 85% of serious illnesses (UK HSE stress statistics). These are just the reported cases of work-related stress.
Have you stopped to think how many other days:
are attributed to a symptom of stress rather than the cause itself?
relate to stress caused by factors outside of work yet which impact upon the efficiency and effectiveness of your organisation?
Stress at work provides a serious risk of litigation for organisations, carrying significant liabilities for damages, bad publicity and loss of reputation. Dealing with stress-related claims also consumes vast amounts of management time. So, there are clearly strong economic and financial reasons for organisations to manage and reduce stress at work, aside from the obvious humanitarian and ethical considerations.
The Health and Safety Executive have reported that 12 billion days are lost within the UK to sickness absence each year. This equates to £495 per worker in direct costs and considerably more in indirect costs.
Many organisations are now looking at new ways to manage absence and stress at work and this is where we can assist.
Would you like to participate in an innovative approach to:
fulfil your obligations under Health and Safety Legislation?
improve worker satisfaction, motivation and performance?
increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your business?
As experienced professionals working within a model which encapsulates the most forward thinking practices in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique. We can assist your staff with performance objectives e.g. confidence, assertiveness and presentation skills. Why send someone on generic training courses when we can work with them in a way which specifically addresses their needs and requirements and, therefore, offers much more value for your money? Furthermore, your staff will be empowered to unlock their potential and resources, enabling them to develop and thrive as people and as professional workers.
In addition to the above, we offer a value-added service providing short sessions for workers which relax and re-energise, allowing them to return to their desks very quickly with renewed focus, vigour and drive.
Our aim is to develop long-term working relationships with organisations committed to achieving business success through the nurturing of their best resource: their work-force.
To find out more please contact us; we would be happy to meet with you to discuss how we can work together and to look at how we are able to assist you to meet the current and future demands of your business.
