COUNSELLING SERVICE

Confidential access to counselling services ensures that your staff always has somewhere to turn when life's pressures start to build up. Whether the primary source of stress lies within or outside the workplace, its early resolution will facilitate a rapid return work.

Workplace Counselling is valued by staff;

• The majority of those who use workplace counselling say they are "highly satisfied" with it.

• The same number would use the service again (if necessary) and would recommend it to their colleagues. 
  

Does Workplace Counselling Work?

A major recent study by Professor John McLeod of the University of Abertay, Dundee, shows that counselling can reduce levels of stress in the workplace by more than 50 per cent.

Professor McLeod says that after Workplace Counselling:

• Levels of work-related symptoms return to the normal range for more than half of all clients

• Levels of sickness and absence fall by between 25-50%.

• Levels of job commitment and satisfaction rise.

• Levels of substance abuse are reduced.
