Traditionally stress has been seen as an unavoidable feature
of modern life. Although a certain amount of stress can be beneficial
for most people, prolonged stress can be a serious threat to health.
Research has shown that stress can have a detrimental effect on a person's
immune system which can lead to an increase in minor ailments, such as
colds and flu,
causing the employee to take days off work for legitimate reasons that could
have been avoided.
The Sunday Times published the Occupational Stress Register
in May 1997 which highlighted the cost of stress to business. Stress factors
can reduce a company's profits by up to 10%. Current estimates suggest that
businesses in the UK lose £11 billion annually through sick pay, reduced produtivity
and missed deadlines.
Companies can see a direct benefit by employing Alternative Therapy at Work
to treat and advise their employees on stress in the workplace.
Apart from the physiological benefits of the individual therapies, employees
appreciate their employers recognising that there may be a possibility
of work related stress and are actively addressing the situation.
Alternative Therapy at Work aims to work with the employer
to increase staff morale, reduce stress-related sick days and ensure that
minor ailments do not cost the company lost revenue.
Programmes are totally flexible to suit the clients needs.
