We provide “integrated solutions”….Our
background in rehabilitation and health ensures that
we have a great deal of expertise in the area of ‘reintegration’,
in other words, helping people return to work in a graded
and manageable way. We work closely with managers and
find this to be of great benefit to both the individual
and organisation.
We will develop bespoke solutions to meet
your organisations needs, our previous solutions have
taken the shape of educational seminars, stress surgery’s
in particular hotspots, toolkits and pamphlets, managers
trainings, stress reduction programmes, individual resilience
building and setting up in-house trauma mediation services,
to name just a few. We enjoy the challenge of meeting
your needs with our creativity and expert knowledge.
We offer flexibility as we can deliver
the solutions ourselves using our expert resources or
if you have in-house occupational health or preferred
suppliers we can train your current provider to deliver
the intervention provided they have the appropriate
skills. By doing this you can ensure the knowledge and
skills you pay for are embedded your organisation making
this an even more cost effective solution.
We won’t leave you to struggle without
support. Once we have a relationship with you and your
staff we like to keep in touch, particularly if running
programmes is involved. We do this through supervision
and check ins using a dedicated email address, teleconferences
and regular visits. This ensures that adjustments and
updates can be made and makes the solution one that
adapts to your changing needs. This aspect of our work
has been experienced as invaluable by clients. This
way our solutions not only address problems already
arisen but also allow you to prevent problems re-occurring.
Pre Programme
Suitability Assessment
We respond to referral with telephone contact from a
psychologist. The potential participants answer a standardised
stress assessment with additional questions taken from
the Beck depression scale to screen for medium to chronic
depression and a drug and alcohol question to screen
for safety issues.
Participants receive an information pack
which includes a Work Place Stress Scale which participants
were asked to fill in and bring to the first group.
This procedure results in self selection,
with the group generally being made up from those in
the latter stages of change. In other words, they are
at the point where they were willing to do something
about their situation. Those in the earlier stages of
change (can see the problem but are unable to relate
issues back to themselves or take action), did not respond
to the phone calls or failed to turn up.
Post Course Evaluations
At the end of the programme participants repeat both
the Stress Scale and the Work Place Stress questionnaire,
in addition they are given a questionnaire about their
experience in terms of changes in lifestyle habits and
relationships. These are done in the 6th session to
ensure complete results. The psychologist then analyses
the data.
Pre and post
course absence tracking
We work with clients to set up a system to monitor participants
absence rates 6 months pre group and 6 months post group.
We can then analysis the data, costing absence improvement,
finding averages and looking at overall savings to the
organisation
