Redundancy Counselling for Employees
Redundancy can affect employees in many different ways. Each employee responds to redundancy differently. Some staff members take redundancy in their stride, whereas others experience the effects of redundancy in devastating ways. Redundancy counselling offers opportunities for employees to begin to come to terms with this up & coming redundancy prospect. Counselling for redundancy also supports employers in this uncomfortable role.
Emergency Counselling At Work For Critical Incidents At Work
Some businesses, companies or organisations need a quick, responsive, prompt, emergency counselling response to incidents or accidents at work, especially about a fatality, death. Employees may be shocked, traumatised, unmotivated and need support in readjusting. It may be difficult to carry on as normal. Each person responds differently and work counselling can help a person through this. Employers value this employee counselling provision as part of their duty of care.
Aims of Workplace Counselling for Employees in London
My aim is for employees to feeI better about themselves and be able to focus at work and consequently benefit the organisation by providing a happier more stable and creative workforce. The workplace counselling service also aims to reduce stress, absenteeism & the "hidden costs", so staff are committed and more effective having overcome work related problems or personal problems affecting their work.
My Workplace Counselling Approach
I am experienced at working with several approaches, and have and understanding of organisational cultures/factors which impact upon a healthy work force. I also work with an awareness of the interests of different organisational stakeholders and of the potential for conflicts of interest between the needs of organisations and individual clients.
Having a partnership approach, I like to work alongside key departments. Business clients, companies or organisations appreciate the fact that I keep the counselling service personal, friendly and professional. I do not take on all new business unless I believe it benefits individual organisations, clients and the counselling service. This enables the counselling service and your organisation to guarantee high levels of service.
My experience has taught me that it is not only what we do what counts, but how we do it is also fundamental, through building good ways of relating. This can bring about lasting transformation.
Valuing Company's Assets - Staff
The people - employees - are each organisation's, business', company's biggest asset. If disregarded, people's value diminishes and the expected business return may decrease. When employees are looked after, they will flourish & consistently perform well in the company.
What Happens At Work Counselling Assessment
I will ask the employee to outline his or her concern or problem. The nature of the assessment is determined by the type of issue presented:
- Workplace stress - work-related stress – stress at work
- Organisational change & redundancy
- Workplace bullying & harassment – harassment & bullying at work
- Work / career dilemmas
- Social well-being
- Lateness
- Internet misuse at work
- Alcohol & drugs at work
- Other work problems...
- Personal problems or crises
For some employees, there may not be a specific work related problem, they may just need to talk and off-load. Others they may need to work through a problem.
The process starts with an initial employee counselling consultation - an assessment session – at work or offsite. This assessment is key to the next steps since it will determine the appropriateness and level of counselling support. Often this will be short term work counselling.
Where longer term employee counselling support is indicated, you will be informed.
Long Term Work Counselling for Employees in London
For some problems there are no magical quick-fixes. Even for people who have taken days off work for depression, stress or burn-out, it can take some time. Initial assessments may indicate that time limited sessions for certain individuals and situations may not be appropriate or advisable. Sometimes solution focused counselling can be ineffective where it is indicated that an employee needs more time to work with deeper underlying issues, or for unspecified problems where there are no clear obvious causes. Where this is the case, periodic reviews are offered to mark progress and future focus of work counselling.
Certain situations therefore require longer term employee counselling at work. These include:
- If the work related problem is long-term/deep rooted with underlying issues
- Entrenched destructive patterns of behaviour at work, e.g. blaming, bitterness
- Unhelpful habits & addictions at work
- Internet misuse in the work place (e.g. pornography, gaming)
- Staff abuse at work
- Major staff health concerns
- Dyslexia
- Long term esteem/worth issues
- Sexuality
- Long term identity issues
- Depression (work related or otherwise)
- Life changing events
- Huge change in personal circumstances
- Bereavement
- Deep seated religious/spiritual factors
- People who know something is amiss yet can't put their finger on it.
- FeeIing empty, aimless, directionless or pointless, lacking motivation, focus, purpose or meaning in Iife.
- Existential concerns
- Unresolved long term conflicts
- Work issues that need unravelling over time
For these typical work issues, solution focused short-term problem solving counselling may not assist and in fact can disempower employees.
