Corporate Services

According to a CIPD 2009 survey, employee absence loses 3.3% of working time and costs employers an average of £692 per employee per year. Stress is the second-highest reason for absence amongst non-manual workers and 5th highest amongst manual. It can be very difficult to leave personal problems at home or work problems at work, each impacts the other. Back pain and musculo-skeletal injuries are also one of the most common reasons for absence. Clearly not all absence is preventable: injuries and illnesses will occur. However, it is clear that employees need support looking after both their mental & emotional well-being, as well as knowing how to look after their bodies.

A small expenditure by employers on support for their employees can greatly reduce absenteeism, improve return-to-work dates and increase general staff morale.

I can offer one-to-one support for your employees to help them deal with whatever is reducing their productivity in the workplace (stress, personal problems, anger management, etc). I can also run small groups aimed at reducing stress, increasing body awareness and improving posture (benefitting overall musculo-skeletal health).

I am also happy to undertake work for EAP providers and the NHS. Please contact me to discuss your requirements:
