Employee Assistance Programmes
Providing individual support to staff in times of personal crisis or as a result of work related issues is an important resource. External support from a trained expert can be effective in:-
- Helping employees return to work
- Decreasing the length of absence
- Increase enjoyment and motivation at work
- Reduce and resolve work related stress/burnout
- Increase retention rates
- Develop coping strategies and resources
Staff Support Groups & Supervision Groups
Providing support to staff working in the helping professions is a valuable resource. Often support is provided from within the organisation from managers who have dual roles such as supervisor and manager. This can limit employees sharing difficulties in their work due to concerns about how this will reflect on their performance. Having this service provided by an external professional can help staff to talk openly about their work. It can offer a valuable external perspective in a confidential space. This group experience can support the development of colleague relationships, dealing with difference and conflict in a respectful way, support teams to get skilled at supporting each other, offer valuable feedback and different solutions to handling challenging situations.
Coral Harrison is an experienced group supervisor. She can provide supervision or staff support for staff working with children, adolescents and adults. Whether you are working in social work, youth work, nursing, psychiatric services, teaching or other helping professions investing in your staff’s welfare is essential. With an ever increasing focus on performance and paperwork often support for the helping professional can go into the background. Providing support to staff working in the caring fields complements other organisational structures such as training, appraisals and line management supervision. Other benefits include:-
- Protecting staff from work related stress, burnout and compassion fatigue
- Reduce staff sickness rates
- Facilitate conflict resolution between individuals
- Find creative solutions to problems
- Protecting staff from over empathising with their clients
- Develop skills and professional competence
- Space to discuss ethical issues and decisions
