Counseling and Preventive Coaching

Coaches and counselors do very different and specific jobs, and enlightened organizations make sure that both are available to their staff long before problems arise.

Using a variety of techniques, coaches can work with managers and leaders to help identify the focus and goals necessary for the productive use of staff and help identify where staff are being used in unhelpful, distracting ways. the attention of the fundamental goals and objectives of the organization. .

When managers and leaders have bitten off more than they can chew, they can help identify constructive ways forward and teach constructive management techniques that will help managers and leaders realize their full potential.

Qualified counselors can work with your staff to help them find the best way to resolve problems and situations both at work and at home, helping them to relieve their stress and remain actively employed.

It can’t be done at home!

Some organizations or managers try to be everything to everyone, and it doesn’t work!

It is impossible for a manager to speak as an equal to an employee and expect the employee to openly share something that could affect their employment situation! It adds stress for the manager and the employee and results in a negative impact instead of a positive one!

Use professionals!

Experienced coaches and counselors are the best people to help you through these issues and you may only need them once a month once everything is in order. The additional cost to each employee for the once-a-month coaching or coaching is only a fraction of the cost of losing that employee due to stress and having to cover the cost of support, coverage, and the unproductive cost of hiring someone who is not able to work!

Professional coaches and counselors can come to you or provide specifically equipped coaching and counseling rooms at your own premises or offer an internet-based service using Skype or similar web-based communication.

Mental health is not just an employee issue, but an employer issue as well. Failure to recognize mental health problems early and act is just as much a failure of care as if any other failure of care had occurred!

The problem is that most employers don’t want to acknowledge that they have as much responsibility for an employee’s mental health as they do for their physical health. One day there will be a trial, then watch as the lawyers mass feed on the business owners!

Wise managers and business owners implement protection against most hazards on the job; in fact, they have a legal obligation to do so.

I would suggest that the smart business owner also take care of their staff seriously and provide a care and support package before it is needed.

But more to the point, it makes financial sense to do so: each company spends its money to produce more in the form of profit. Yet £13.5 billion lost to staff illness is an incredible amount of money going to waste!

What are you throwing away by doing nothing to support the mental health of your staff?
