Stress Management Consultant & Complementary Therapist
Stress related sickness is widely reported to be a major cause of absence for
UK businesses. It is estimated that 13.4 million working days a year are lost through stress,
anxiety and depression, with sickness absence costing over £12 billion
according to the latest figures from the CBI.
In organisations everywhere, employees are facing increasing pressures to be
both effective at work and to maintain a quality home life.
Modern businesses demand high performance, short response times, long working
hours and heavy workloads. At home many people face money pressures, family
demands, education concerns, high lifestyle expectations and limited time with
loved ones.
When an employee has an issue, whether the origin is work or home based,
performance in the workplace is likely to be affected. Sickness and absence can
increase while concentration and efficiency may decrease.
Workplace stress is becoming a major health and safety concern for employees and
employers alike. It makes sense therefore, to take the best care of your
employees, not just to comply with current legislation, but to inspire greater
commitment, efficiency and productivity.
My approach is to prevent stress in the workplace, not just to react to its
consequences.
