The Support @ Work Programme

The challenge of the modern day workplace

Work-related stress is now the biggest single cause of absence from work, and there is ample evidence to show that prolonged periods of high stress can have major long-term health implications  as well as severely impacting upon an individuals career prospects and earning potential.  Several workplace issues can lead to mounting difficulties at work such as:

  • Performance - Increasing pressure to perform and hit targets and under performance due to stress, anxiety or ill-health


  • Workplace Bullying- This comes in many forms and people often don't realise they're being bullied until it starts to have a serious impact


  • Work life balance - Having to work longer hours just to get the job done and   not being able to take regular time off due to the volume of work


  • Presenteeism - Going to work when you know you are unwell or unfit   for fear of not getting the job done or losing pay


  • Absenteeism - Continued pressures that end up causing repeated ill-health or you simply cannot face going to work


  • Lack of investment - Little or no time given to training or support or to cover staff shortages



  • Family - Increasing numbers of employees who now have caring responsibilities outside of the workplace 

 

More often than not it's a combination of two or three or even more of the above causes.  So what can you do about it?

Don't wait too long to ask for help

One of the biggest challenges when dealing with a problem at work is knowing when to get help.  People who come to me have often been trying to deal with their problem alone for too long.  Contact me now and find out how I can help and work with you to find a positive solution and way forward. 

Helping you overcome workplace difficulties

I can provide expert one to one coaching and support to help you through an extensive range or problems at work some of which are listed below:
  • Managing work-related stress and anxiety
  • Work life balance  
  • Disputes with your employer
  • Workplace bullying
  • Working through grievances  
  • Employment Tribunals and Settlement Agreements
  • Returning to work after a long absence
  • Moving forward after a bad employment experience

What you will gain from this support - a light at the end of the tunnel

I have several years of experience in this area of coaching and have experienced similar situations in my own career.  I know only too well of the long lasting damage such difficulties can cause.

I will work with you to find out all about your current situation in an impartial, unhurried and non-judgmental way.  Once I have a the full picture I will outline how I can work with you and agree with you what your main goal is from the coaching process.

Coaching of this nature has a wide range of benefits:
  • By taking the first step you will immediately feel empowered and more positive 

  • Working with your coach will help you to see things more clearly and help you to put them into perspective

  • You will then feel more confident about resolving the difficulties and be able to move forward

  • I will show you how you can learn from the experience and put that learning into action at work and in life in general

  • Constant support and feedback on your progress

  • Continuing support for as long as you need it

Solicitors & Trade Unions

I often work alongside or with employment solicitors if you're being represented in a tribunal or considering a settlement agreement, I will also work with your trade union if they are providing representation on your behalf.

The costs of the support I provide may be something that you could ask your employer to cover either informally or as part of your settlement agreement.  I can provide information to your solicitor or trade union about the services I provide.  

Any employment dispute that reaches the stage of discussing settlement agreements or tribunal stage is stressful, and a bad employment experience can take many years to overcome, I can help you reduce the impact of that process and help you move on more quickly when it's over.
