Mediation for Stress

Are You Frustrated By The Amount Of Absence Due To Stress?

One of the biggest problems with stress is amount of absence from work it causes? Often employees who go off with stress are absent for not just for days or weeks but sometimes months. It is the length of absence that is often such a concern. Not only is it distressing for the individual but it can be a cause of headache for those left doing the work, not to mention the cost to the business.

Could You Be Trying To Deal With The Symptoms Of Stress Rather Than The Cause?

Stress can be a difficult problem for managers to deal with. Often managers are not aware of the issues leading to stress in the first place. When they find that an employee is off work with stress their first reaction is to invest considerable time and money in providing psychological counselling. But whilst counselling services are likely to be suitable for individuals with stress caused by personal reasons such as anxiety it is not necessarily the best method to resolve issues caused by problems in the workplace.

Is There a More Effective Way To Resolve Workplace Stress?

Have you considered mediation as a means of managing workplace stress? If you have stress related absence which is caused by workplace issues rather than personal issues than a confidential and independent mediator may be a better answer. Mediation works to resolve problems and disputes at work by removing the consequences and risks of open discussion. In mediation no-one is blamed and the process is kept completely confidential even from the employer. In this way both the employee and manager can work through any of the issues that have contributed to stress without fear of reprisals or recriminations. It is often thought of as a modern, alternative method to grievance and disciplinary procedures.

Using Mediation to get People Back to Work?

Using a professional and experienced mediator can help an absent employee return to work. The benefit of dealing with the causes of workplace stress is that you prevent a lengthy absence. So not only will you make considerable savings but by taking steps to resolve the causes of stress you will help prevent problems in the future and any possible risk of litigation.
