breathing space for business
*In financial terms the estimated cost of sickness absence to the UK as a whole is around £12 billion a year. Stress is the single largest cause of occupational ill health, accounting for around half of all days lost to work-related ill health in these sectors.
Your employees’ wellbeing is key to the success of your business.
To be competitive in today’s business environment, you need to hold on to really good employees, reduce absenteeism and limit your exposure to expensive and time-gobbling litigation.
Research by the DTi has shown that employees who are happy at work are 34% more effective whilst Harvard research shows that companies who ensure employees are appropriately challenged, deliver 30 times better than those who do not.
HSE research shows that undue stress is a major contributor to ill health, absenteeism and lack of motivation and that employment tribunal claims against companies for undue stress are due to rise dramatically. For further statistics, click here
Have you noticed any signs of undue stress? Do you know what to look for?
For example, uncharacteristic mistakes from usually reliable staff, increased absences from work, ill health, depression, negativity and poor attitudes to work. Then your firm and staff are not performing at optimum levels.
Ring any bells? Then call Annie Lawler now on 0772 581 8884 or e-mail annie@breathingspaceforbusiness.com.
This is where we come in. Breathing Space for Business offers just the solutions you’ve been looking for to improve staff retention, reduce absenteeism, enhance performance – AND helps protect your company from expensive and time-consuming employment tribunals resulting from ill-health and undue stress.
We specialise in providing objective, practical support for businesses who understand that having a happy and healthy workforce improves performance and overall results.
Our services are delivered, not just by people who’ve read the text books and gained a qualification. Of course, we’ve done all that, but we’ve actually been out there, working in competitive business environments for many years and we understand the pressures on businesses and their employees to perform.
Some businesses are simply not aware of the extent of their responsibility towards employee wellbeing and stress management or how to approach the issue. Some believe that just battling through problems will resolve them.
You may think that nobody could possibly understand the pressures of your particular business? You may be surprised how often similar situations arise in very different businesses. Perceived poor communication, poor organisation, motivational issues, ‘us and them’ cultures and so on. Also personal issues such as sleeplessness and the inability to switch off or to get the work/life balance right.
Your business needs an effective wellbeing or stress management policy which conforms to HSE guidelines and that is communicated clearly to your staff. But it’s not just about policy and paying lip service to cover your liability, it’s about adopting practices and initiatives that become part of the company culture and are followed through in the day to day running of your business.
