Why
should
you
consider
Workplace
Counselling
within
your organisation?
Research suggests:
•
"eighteen per cent of employees are affected by
personal problems on the job - these personal
problems can decrease their productivity by 25
per cent." (Masi, 1982)
•
"counselling interventions have been found, in the
majority of studies that have examined this
factor, to reduce sickness absence rates in clients
by 25-50 per cent." (McLeod, 2001)
•
"twenty-eight per cent of problems identified by
clients were work related. Of these, 62 per cent
referred to difficulties in relationships at work."
(Firth & Shapiro, 1986)
•
counselling contributed to "significant
improvements on most attitude-to-work factors:
opportunity for control, skill use, job demand,
clarity, feeling valued, interpersonal contact,
competence, work spill-over, adequacy of pay and
job satisfaction." (Firth-Cozens & Hardy, 1992)
