Joe Heffernan - Coping with Stress at Work
A Message to Company Executives
Many companies do not have an Employee Assistance Programme.Now an affordable service is available whereby I will address staff on such issues as the effects of stress overload and the strategies which can be employed to interrupt the causal link between stress and illness. This affordable service is tailored to the smaller Private Sector Company, which does not have a permanent staff of experts employed in this specific support/counselling area.
Following the initial talk I am available to staff members who choose to discuss issues with me in a confidential safe setting. This will go a long way in resolving issues before they escalate into serious situations, sometimes even developing into costly legal/litigious situations. The presence of such a service shows a caring and enlightened approach towards its employees by the company.
Why should a company invest in Staff Support/Stress Management etc?
More and more large, successful companies are seeing the benefits of such a programme - in reduced absenteeism, better work performance, respect and loyalty, and a happier workforce interacts better with clients and colleagues alike. So Time and Energy spent on illness, absenteeism and worry, are saved.We are doing very well sales and profit wise - why bother?
As we enter the new millennium more and more people are looking at the overall quality of their lives. Work is a big part of our lives, so that health and safety at work are being looked at more and more. More and more managers are moving away from the old perception of the "boss(es)" as controlling "authority figures" to becoming facilitators, motivators and role models who empower their staff to fulfil their potential in the job and in life. In the long run this investment in the well-being of staff will prove to have been money and time very well spent.For more information follow the links on the right,
