Providing stress counselling services is an inexpensive means of investing in the mental well-being of your staff. The loss in productivity alone would justify the cost of a brief course of counselling. There’s the added advantage of boosting morale in the workplace, compliance with regulatory guidelines, and, most importantly, enhancing your staff.
There are numerous benefits of engaging a professional Stress Management Consultant to deal with your staff and management’s needs. Let’s look at just a few.
Boost morale
Stress is one of the leading causes of reduced morale and the consequent inability to produce high-quality work. One-third of managers surveyed stated that they considered their organizations to be underperforming, and almost a third thought that there was a crisis for their organization, with over half of employees citing stress as a cause. Engaging a qualified Counsellor trained in the areas of organizational behavior and communication could boost employee morale.
Workload
A major contributor to absenteeism and tardiness is increased workload. The effects of increased workload are not limited to the actual work-related environment but can impact all aspects of daily life. For example, a heavy, prolonged period of fasting can have an enormous impact on the physical and mental state of someone. Stress Counseling can provide employees with effective work-related stress strategies that can help them cope with their workload.
Enhance Learning Outcomes
A major part of stress counselling is learning about stress and its impacts. A stress counsellor will review the learner’s past and present situation and then plan interventions to assist the individual in adapting to and manage stress-related situations. A high percentage of employees at all levels of an organization is experiencing some form of learning disability. This may include learning poorly, not being able to retain information, or concentrating too intently on one task. Effective stress counselling can help to improve overall learning outcomes and reduce the negative impact of learning disability on the working performance of an individual.
Improve self-awareness and self-management skills
Stress management training also focuses on the development of a healthy attitude towards work. One of the primary goals is to provide candidates with a healthy and positive attitude towards their job. In order to maximize this, the person needs to be actively involved in their daily work activities and have effective feedback from senior management. The Learning outcomes will assess how a candidate progresses throughout the training and use this to measure their progress and identify gaps in their learning.
