Turn your problems into successful projects!


Together we will identify the causes of stress for both individuals and the over all company.

What do people really want at work?


To be able to trust leadership and each other


To feel part of something larger than themselves


To work in an environment where the only enemy is outside the walls of the company


To see people are rewarded on merit


To experience results matter more than individual personalities



From “The End of Office Politics as Usual”, by Lawrence Serven.



 


What people are saying:


“Top marks for presentation at King County Bar Association!”


Before:

Hopelessness

Fear about lack of clients, stress about lack of tasks to do Psychological environment= everyone is trying to pretend that there isn’t an elephant in the room

Isolation and anger towards co-workers and/or leadership team


After first session:

“Happier and more hopeful.”

“We are functioning as a real team!  We are communicating about jobs and strategizing about processes.”


“I really got I’ll die with a to-do list. This has changed the whole way I get stressed about my job.  I am more relaxed and able to deal with one thing at a time.  I am the person everyone else goes through from management to clients to vendors.  Since you came, EVERYONE is noticing a difference in how we are managing. Thank you so much!”

Physical and Psychological Symptoms of Stress


Insomnia   Irritability   Poor digestion   Hypertension   Depression   Skeletal-muscular inflammation   Dental issues (teeth grinding)   Sudden bouts of rage  Shallow breathing (decrease of oxygen to the brain)  Compromised immune functions  etc…


At work, these symptoms result in


•Decreased productivity & higher levels of “Presentee-ism”  (lights are on but nobody’s home)

•Increased incidents of conflict

•Job dissatisfaction, complaining, stuck projects, higher turn over



The Wall Street Journal reports that “anything companies can do to reduce the stress level for employees is something employers have to look at.” In light of the current environment, employers need to look for creative ways to support employees while keeping costs down.


It is estimated that U.S. companies spend billions of dollars annually on job-related burnout. These costs can be associated with employee turnover including advertising for positions, background checks, training new employees, and health care costs. Estimates indicate that 75 to 90 percent of primary care physician visits are for stress-related issues and workers' compensation claims.



Team health translates into better customer care, higher productivity, fewer unexpected absences, greater creativity and collaboration, higher profits and happier humans!
