Well aHead -‘providing psychological health solutions’ understands the pressures
and needs of both employers and employees working in industry. The efficient structure
of Well aHead means that we can offer a local, flexible service which meets the needs
of local industry, cutting out the high costs often associated with national counselling
schemes.
Staff stress and the pressures and demands of business, continue to increase, which
can reduce output and efficiency. Sometimes employees have problems at home, which
are not your fault but will impact on your company.
The Health & Safety Executive estimates that up to 60% of work absence can be traced
back to various forms of stress. For most companies staff are their most valuable
asset. Therefore many employers understand that strategically targeting a small amount
of money at a problem could keep key staff working.
