LIFE DESIGN All employees, performing at their best, for a more innovating and productive business
LIFE DESIGN is a revolutionary new approach to traditional, out-dated Employee Assistant Programmes. Uniquely fusing the professions of counselling and coaching, it addresses many of the people problems faced by employers in our fast-paced, ever-changing world. WORKPLACE WELLBEING Today we are all under considerable pressure to perform, whether in personal aspects of our lives or in the workplace. This pressure can damage our relationships with friends and family whilst under-achievement at work can influence our earning potential. Both impact on our lifestyle choices and living standards. At times it can feel like a vicious circle that we simply don t feel strong enough to break. When this begins to impact on our employer s bottom line, many businesses offer reactive support to their employees; a plaster to try and hold it all together. At this time everyone is suffering as a consequence. Morale drops, productivity falls, sickness levels increase and unhealthy staff turnover can stress even the best of teams.

PREVENTION Having listened to the companies and individuals we work with, we have produced a completely new type of package for SMEs and microproviders called LIFE DESIGN. It offers an alternative route, one that prevents the ups and downs that reactive responses inevitably deliver, and where the company and individual don t have to suffer before action is taken. LIFE DESIGN will help stabilise your workplace and bring with it real financial benefits and a much improved working environment for all. WHAT IS LIFE DESIGN? Traditionally, a distinction has been made between counselling and coaching that has, for the most part, meant that clients are treated very differently, depending which service they choose. Having recognised that the needs of our clients have changed, it was time to design something for the problems, situations and pressures that sit around today s new society and its demands. We cannot hide from the fact that the world is changing and we are changing with it; LIFE DESIGN is an acknowledgment of the need for a much more integrated and holistic form of therapy, which brings a combination of the two disciplines into a structured and carefully devised approach to finding solutions. Integrating counselling and coaching in a very new way, LIFE DESIGN offers a creative platform to help your employees achieve their goals and/or specific desired improvements.
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS? LIFE DESIGN will help your staff: Strengthen their ability to manage stress Develop emotional resilience Cope with uncertainty and change Manage more effectively Develop leadership skills and their personal productivity Undertake change and transition Tap into a place where new strength can emerge Develop new business ideas by stimulating creative thinking We support and enable individuals and organisations that are: Designing a new life Living with transitional challenge Growing through tough times Creating new sustainable futures We do this through the way we engage and work with clients to craft a creative developmental experience that enables them to engage with, and draw from, latent abilities and hidden inspirations, to nurture and establish new personal and organisational realities we call it the New Leaf Experience. Investing proactively in your valued employees and concentrating on the practical issues of setting goals and achieving results within specific time scales, this model of Workplace Coaching helps individuals explore their own potential within their work and personal lives. It improves self-awareness, confidence and morale, helping to build a stronger, more productive team; a win-win resolution to a very real problem within society today. DID YOU KNOW? One in five employees suffer from work-related stress each year The Chartered Institute for Professional Development (CIPD) found that in 2015, absence cost employers an average of 554 for each employee per year Absenteeism amounts to an estimated annual cost of 13 billion in the UK economy Presenteeism, where employees attend work when they are unwell, is reported to have increased to 31% in 2015 (CIPD) In a recent analysis of counselling participants who attended New Leaf, 93% said their reactions to the sessions were very good and 90% said they found the sessions very useful. 100% said they would recommend the sessions to a friend or colleague
THE PROBLEMS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), companies with between 1 and 249 employees, make up over 99 per cent of UK private sector businesses. Their varied circumstances bring an equally wide range of health and wellbeing challenges. Recent data on the health of the UK workforce has suggested that almost one in every three employees has at least one long-term health condition. The significant proportion of SME employees who fall onto disability welfare, without first having a period of sickness absence, is indicative of the particular issues faced within SMEs. Both absence and presenteeism (attending work whilst sick) represent significant direct financial costs to businesses, and these may be exaggerated in smaller businesses due to an inability to compensate for, or cover, staff who are unwell. This can lead to lost business and operational difficulties, including an inability to meet customer expectations.
