Benefits to Businesses

Significant negative financial implications can arise as a result of staff suffering ill health, perhaps through smoking, alcohol, or stress and similarly from those feeling demotivated, whether through threatened redundancy and insecurity or through apparently differing standards when compared to other members of staff, e.g. Where smokers get additional ‘smoke breaks’ while non-smokers stay working at their workspace.

Most of the hypnotherapy, NLP and coaching techniques described on this site can be used to effectively address some of these issues, so providing benefits to businesses and their staff members. Examples of beneficial applications are

Stress Management Workshops

The current economic climate can lead to increased adverse stress levels as staff face rising costs, pressure from banks and possibly even the fear of redundancy. We can provide stress management workshops for individuals or groups. In fact, just showing that you care enough to run them can have a significantly beneficial effect.

Furthermore, H&S legislation has developed to include a duty to take reasonable care of employees’ safety from mental, psychological or psychiatric injuries that emanate from workplace stress, harassment and bullying. Excessive stress can lead to problems with performance and attendance, which translates into increased costs and exposure to legal claims for employers.

Redundancy Counselling

If your business is one of those facing a dramatic downturn as a result of the 'credit crunch' and related fall-out, you may be contemplating laying off staff as their roles become redundant. We can help ease their transition by coaching them to make the best use of their own resources in the search for alternative employment.

Stop Smoking Workshops

Although legislation restricts where people can smoke, the lost productivity of staff frequently 'popping out for a quick smoke' and its cumulative effect can be considerable. ,

Additionally, smokers, because their immune systems are suppressed by the chemicals in tobacco smoke, are also more prone to illness with a risk of increased sickness absences (or even more serious outcomes). Studies have shown that smokers on average take an extra 8 days sick leave a year, compounded by the risk of long term health problems and possibly early retirement on health grounds.

Consider also the adverse image to businesses of people loitering outside smoking, the litter of discarded cigarette ends and the smell outside business premises.

We can run a smoking cessation workshop for groups or individuals.

Straightforward Health and Staff Benefits

In addition to smoking cessation mentioned above, there are other benefits that can be provided, e.g. weight management, fears and phobias.. These can be provided cost effectively as non-monetary benefits.

The techniques available can also help improve effectiveness by increasing the self-confidence of staff in vulnerable roles.

Consolidating Staff Training

Achievement coaching techniques offer a very cost effective way of consolidating training and bringing about changes in behaviour, attitude and performance.

Consider the cost of sending members of staff on training courses to introduce a change in behaviour or practices. How often do those members go back into the same environment, mind set and routines as before the course and lose their momentum? How often do employers then conclude that training can be expensive with questionable returns?

These techniques also offer a cost effective means to developing high performing teams and with the added benefit that NLP techniques can be used to help staff improve inter-personal and customer relationship skills.

As an overall staff benefit, Achievement Coaching programmes can be delivered to individuals and small groups to help them achieve greater balance and self-confidence, both at work and in their personal lives. This could be a valuable tool for improving staff morale, staff productivity and staff retention.

All the services mentioned can be delivered through one or half day awareness seminars and either group or one-to-one therapy, but they will usually be tailored to your business needs and those of your staff.
