Stressed employees use up a considerable share of their actual capacity just to cope with stress-triggering situations. They fall ill more often, because constant stress weakens the immune system, among other things. Well-established teams are thrown off balance by the enormous tension and can develop neither their performance nor their creativity fully. This state should be improved as soon as possible, ideally with anti-stress coaching.
I come into companies at regular intervals or on call, as a neutral confidant not entangled in the system. Employees can come to me with their professional and personal problems. We de-stress acute topics, develop solutions for a better work-life balance and thereby improve the working atmosphere.
The most important resource
The most important resource of a company is its employees. Whoever likes coming to work achieves more. Whoever enjoys their work is more creative. Colleagues who get along well form a more successful team. Surely you look after your resources and have maintenance contracts for your equipment. But how about looking after your most important resource, your employees?
A person’s full potential develops not through pressure and money but through appreciation and freedom. The feeling of shared responsibility for the company’s success and responsible tasks also substantially promote creativity, commitment and productivity.
Skills shortage
The market demands competent specialists, but qualified employees are lacking. It must therefore be given high priority that existing specialists like to stay and use their potential for the company as well as possible. In addition, open positions should be attractive in order to win new specialists. Fair pay plays an important role here, but the decision is also strongly made on the feel-good factor.
A good working atmosphere, team spirit, responsibility, freedom and good communication are important factors for an attractive and successful company in which people like to develop.
Three models for anti-stress coaching in your company
- Occasional one-to-one conversations in acute cases
- Regular presence of an external confidant
- Anti-stress workshops for groups
One-to-one conversations take place on call, when someone is so much under stress that work performance visibly suffers. Sometimes the topics are very personal, sometimes very company-specific. I lead the person out of the problem-focused view and develop sustainable solutions for the future with them.
The regular presence of an external confidant is already well established in the USA and is slowly arriving in Germany too. Once or several times a week I come to your company and am available for several hours as a discreet, empathetic and professional conversation partner. Give your employees the opportunity to turn to me, for example for one hour per week. In the conversations we reduce stress and frustration and gain ideas for a better working atmosphere.
Anti-stress workshops are several small blocks of about three hours each in which I teach groups the basics:
- Relaxation techniques for the body
- Techniques to calm the mind
- Methods from communication psychology
- Changing perspective
- Mindfulness
Productivity and tax deductibility
Through the better mood of individuals and whole groups, productivity rises overall, so that the investment pays for itself in the medium term. Specialists stay, and new ones have a greater incentive to come. For companies I issue business coaching invoices that are tax deductible.
Test it for free
I am sure that my coaching is a gain for your company too. That is why I offer you to test it for two hours. If the response is not positive, this test remains free of charge, apart from any travel costs that may arise.
