STRESS MANAGEMENT TRAINING WORKSHOPS

Again our Stress Management Training Workshops are designed to your specific requirements and expectations and can cover a half day or a full day.  The training can also be given on site or off-site at a suitable location and will usually be for a maximum of twenty people.  The workshops are inter-active to ensure maximum delivery and also include a comprehensive information pack.

An example of what our Stress Management Training Workshops can offer:

• How to recognise when we are showing symptoms of stress-related health issues and how to prevent them turning in to a major health condition.
• Communication in the right way – i.e. not waiting till a situation gets out of control.
• How to turn negative thought patterns into positive thought patterns.
• Confidence and self-esteem building exercises.
• Better time management.
• Breathing techniques and other ways to help cope with stress at work or home.
• Relaxation techniques.
• Ways in which to avoid back strain.
• How to combat afternoon energy slumps.
• How to reduce electronic energy interference from computers and telephones.
• Good diet and nutrition and how it can help to combat stress – i.e. strengthen the immune system.
• Good lifestyle choices– i.e. exercise, sleep, and why bad ones can exacerbate stress.
• How to combat insomnia and be re-energised for work.

We will be offering Management Workshops in the New Year.

COMPLEMENTARY OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE

Employees could be sent to the clinic to have an in-depth consultation and tests for the effects of stress and to determine exactly what the contributory factors are.  These may be a combination of work stress / poor nutrition / unhealthy lifestyle choices / domestic or financial problems and other illnesses not caused by stress, but which may be contributing to their overall health.  Your employees will be encouraged to talk in confidence and these confidences will not be disclosed without their permission.  Advice will also be given to the employee on how to combat problems and stress encountered outside of work.  A choice of at least two treatment plans will then be submitted to you in order for you to choose the most appropriate for that employee in terms of budget, time restrictions and other considerations.

Treatment may be recommended for physical, mental or emotional problems as required.  We usually find that when an employee comes off site for a health check, they are more willing to discuss their problem and this can be invaluable at reaching a speedy solution.

Research shows increasingly that individuals are responding better to Complementary Medicine treatments for stress-related illness, rather than conventional treatments.  Drugs such as anti-depressants, sleeping tablets, anti-anxiety tablets, statins, proton-pump inhibitors and even anti-biotics if they have to be repeated too often, will have an effect on the functional ability of your employee.

ON-SITE RELAXATION TREATMENTS:

We can bring a team of therapists onto your site to perform various de-stress and relaxation treatments.  Currently we can offer:

Hand or Foot Massages Back, Neck and Shoulder Massages Indian Head Massage Reflexology Reiki Tai Chi Guided meditation Also – blood pressure checks, muscular-skeletal checks and initial health evaluations.

A single therapist can perform a number of treatments throughout the day – a TEAM of therapists can perform a LARGE number of treatments in a day.  Again the type of therapist/therapies that you might require can be matched to your requirements – however, although we would provide our own equipment, we would need a suitable room/s to work from.

VOUCHER SCHEME

We can issue vouchers for you to distribute to your employees.  These may be used as incentives for meeting targets, six months without sick-leave, outstanding achievements, Christmas gifts, etc.  They can be for any value and can be used at the clinic, or on-site if you arrange an on-site De-Stress & Relaxation day.  You will be surprised at the level of loyalty and wellbeing this will create.  The recipient can choose to add their own money to the voucher and choose to have a longer or more expensive treatment.
