Stress Audits
A Stress Audit will identify levels of stress and the pressure points in your company so that any intervention can be targeted effectively and its success measured. We train managers in recognising stress and employees in stress management; for acute cases our psychologists provide personal counselling.
Stress is an increasing problem in modern
organisations. Most people
can cope with some stress, but problems
arise when they have to deal
with prolonged and increasing levels of
pressure. The Health and Safety Executive says that 20% of employees
admit to taking time off because of stress and one in three consult
their GP on stress-related problems.
For an individual stress can lead to a number of mental and physical
illnesses. The cost to an organisation
can be enormous in terms of
sickness, absenteeism, lost productivity
staff turnover and accidents. In many organisations stress is now the
most common factor leading to early retirement.
Introducing a stress reduction programme demonstrates that you care for your employees. A Stress Audit will allow you to effectively target interventions. This will give you a direct payoff in terms of higher productivity and reduced absenteeism. With an increasing risk of litigation a stress audit followed by appropriate measures will reduce the risk of legal action by employees.
Stress
Audits
A stress audit will provide you with an insight into
levels of stress in your
organisation and compare these with levels in the general population and similar companies to your own. We highlight the pressure points and analyse the results by company, division or department according to your
requirements.
This provides you with an objective measure of stress allowing you
to target stress reduction measures. Thus increasing the likelihood of an
intervention being successful. We can also measure the effectiveness of an intervention programme and monitor levels of stress to prevent future
problems.
Stress
Management Programmes
One or two day courses for individuals helping them to
understand stress and to identify ways of managing pressure positively both at home and
work.
Recognising
Stress
A two-day course for managers which will equip them with
the skills to
recognise stress in their employees. They can then provide first
line help and prevent any problems from escalating.
Individual
Counselling
We can assist managers and employees who are suffering
from stress by helping them to deal with their issues on a confidential one to one
basis.
This is particularly helpful with acute cases and in helping those
suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Executive Package
We have a special
week-long stress recovery package for executives. This involves an analysis of the causes of their stress, how to cope with
this stress and a number of techniques for reducing their stress.
