Does Workplace Counselling Work?
A major new study by Professor John McLeod of the University of Abertay, Dundee, shows that counselling can reduce levels of stress in the workplace by more than 50 per cent.

Professor McLeod says that after Workplace Counselling:

Levels of work-related symptoms return to the normal range for more than half of all clients
Levels of sickness and absence ALSO fall by between 25-50%.
(In one 1998 study by Professor Cary Cooper of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, the rates of sickness/absence actually fell by an average of 60 per cent).
Levels of job commitment and satisfaction ALSO rise.
Levels of substance abuse are reduced.
Stress needs defining - a life without any stress is actually called death! But 'overstress' is demonstrably destructive. It's not just stress that can be treated by workplace counselling though. Workplace counselling is effective in relieving the symptoms of both anxiety AND depression. In fact, Professor McLeod found that people who need workplace counselling show signs of psychological distress equivalent to that found in out-patient psychiatric hospitals.

Workplace Counselling is valued by staff;

The majority of those who use workplace counselling say they are "highly satisfied" with it.
The same number would use the service again (if necessary) and would recommend it to their colleagues.
Some useful facts about Counselling;

Counselling helps people respond differently and quickly to stressfull or anxiety-creating situations.
All styles of counselling turn out to be helpful. It is more important to see a well-trained practitioner than opt for one particular approach.
Professor McLeod's report suggests that successful results can be achieved after as little as 3-8 sessions of counselling.
AND Workplace counselling covers its financial costs.

This report by Professor McLeod not only demonstrates the positive emotional outcomes but also makes a first-rate business case. For every £1 spent through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) on workplace counselling - on average between £5-10 was being saved for Companies with the workforce receiving the direct benefit.
