Offering support to individuals experiencing Common Mental Health problems at home and at work

Workplace Mental Health

Stress is the most common cause of workplace illness and absenteeism. EU figures suggest that it costs in excess of 30 billion each year in days lost at work or poor performance at work. Stress is good for us to a certain point and helps motivate and challenge us to achieve high levels of satisfaction at work.

On the other hand when the demands exceed our ability to cope we can experience distress. Stress is caused by stressors, some of which will be related to the workplace itself and some of which are personal issues. Work Related Stress (WRS) usually features a combination of both work characteristics and personal characteristics.

We offer bespoke training to organisations to help develop resilience and self care among employees.
