Benefits of this service

Workplace counselling and wellbeing in the workplace can offer a service that is both valued by employer and employee whilst at the same time reducing sickness absence, improve staff retention, and reduce staff turnover improving staff morale. It can potentially be viewed as part of the employer’s duty of care to offer such service to promote a stress-free environment in compliance with government legislation on employee wellbeing. 

Growing research in this area demonstrates the importance to mental health and well-being in relation to work performance and effectiveness. Many studies have shown where employers have offered counselling support to their employees it has a positive impact on their health and well-being. Employees can carry out their work duties whilst at the same time explore ways and tools to manage their personal and/or work situation.  Often one will impact the other. Other benefits include reduced costs that are associated with illness and absenteeism, costs of sick pay will be reduced, cover and recruitment of staff will be minimal. If employees are happier in their workplace, then they will be less likely to seek other employment. Relationships in the workplace improve along with compliance with their duties therefore change can be accepted more readily. Employers will see an increase in work performance and decision making.
