It has been recognised that absenteeism, which is increasingly caused by work-related stress, costs UK businesses up to 13 million working days and an estimated cost of £3.7bn a year. The Health & Safety Executive have committed to targets of reducing the incidence of work-related stress by 20% by 2010

With the roller-coaster rise and fall in the money markets, stress can play an increasing part in the lives of workers. This applies to all offices where intensity of work is a daily feature and where firms in general are under great pressure. Excessive stress drives down productivity, affects health and performance - mistakes can more easily be made.

 

I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand.

-Baruch Spinoza, philosopher (1632-1677)

Our specialist coaching service can visit your company and using a combination of relaxation techniques, open discussion, analysis and diagnosis we can help repair the problem and enable the situation to function more effectively.

We custom-build our solutions as no two organisations have identical chemistry. We take time to understand what it is you need and we work from there. If you have never used a coach before don't worry, we will explain the whole thing clearly.

There are many coaching services but we speclialise in two fields - staff selection problems and anyone who finds that their personal life difficulties are interferring with their performance. We stay with the individual or individuals concerned until the problem receives the attention it needs.

Clients find it comforting that they can speak with complete strangers outside the political scene so to speak. They often speak of personal or family matters, drug or alcohol use, financial problems - apart from normal stress-related matters. After 35 years working in various countries the answers can be found for most problems.

To help you clarify how coaching could benefit your team or organisation we offer a free assessment session on the phone or in person. Phone Brian Snellgrove on 020 8670 4344.

Costs - We work as a team and visit offices in London, and elsewhere by arrangement. Charges are project-based. We would expect you to see a speedy improvement of performance typically by the end of the third session. 

 

Our HR support service helps you to select the right staff. The service is described via our home page.
