Employment Assistance

Kerry’s employment assistance services are aimed at supporting employers and employees within their place of work by identifying and resolving any personal concerns or work-related issues that may be affecting an employee’s performance or attendance. The most common issues affecting an employee’s ability to function are anxiety/stress, depression, interpersonal/relationship problems and self-esteem issues. Assisting the emotional needs of your employees is a key factor in promoting a healthier and more productive workforce that enjoys improved relationships at home and at work. On average, it will only take six sessions to affect an improvement of an employee’s difficulties.

Effective support can make a real difference to your employee’s morale and help you manage absenteeism.

Kerry’s short-term, results-oriented therapy programme provides you with a valuable resource to increase the emotional effectiveness of your workforce. Kerry can tailor her services to meet your unique requirements.

Critical Incident

A critical incident is a traumatic event that has overwhelmed an individual’s ability to cope emotionally. Traumatic events can occur in any work environment and anyone can suffer from a post-traumatic stress reaction. Incident stress debriefings help individuals come to terms with their exposure to a trauma.

As an employer, ensuring that your organisation is prepared to cope with critical incidents is paramount to ensuring minimal risk and impact on the health and productivity of your workforce. It safeguards against staff absence and promotes your employee’s sense of worth and well-being.

Examples of critical incidents include

• Suicide of an employee
• Witnessing the death or injury of a colleague
• Being threatened or assaulted by a co-worker or customer
• Serious work-related injury with multiple casualties
• Significant events involving children
• Incidents that involve media interest
• Bomb threats
• Any significant and overwhelming distressing event
