Organisational & Industrial:
HSE Stress Audits & Risk Assessment, e-Learning & Company training.
The Health and Safety Executive
has launched an initiative requiring all employers to undertake a 'Stress Risk
Assessment' of their workplaces and employees.
We have the very latest sampling technology - both
hard-copy and virtual screen based, to make Stress Audits for
companies needing a thorough appraisal of their situations. We can present a
comprehensive report detailing the current profile and recommendations to Senior
Management or Board level without obligation.
We offer excellent Workshops and
Seminars to staff on Stress-Management for managers and workers. '360
o' Feedback Analysis; Time-Management;
Team-Building; Networking and Skill Coaching Methods are one, two or three day
courses also available, from
Organisational Psychologists with certified competence in Occupational Testing.
Stresscare Programs are becoming more
and more popular among companies and individuals choosing to adopt a caring and
considerate approach to working life. They cover personal, financial and legal
issues and can extend to cover families of employees too. These facilities which
are totally confidential are being increasingly sought after by companies
wishing to address pro-actively their responsibilities to their workforce in
particular relation to the incidence of stress-related absenteeism, staff
turnover and possible litigation which from a purely financial perspective can
be cripplingly expensive.
Stress at work can result from Critical Incidents,
Corporate structural changes, from Downsizing exercises and Relocation among
other reasons. A safety net 'Employee Assistance Program' is frequently a vital
facility in preventing large scale disaffection and expensive industrial action
during controversial but necessary policy implementation. If you are looking to
put in place an E.A.P. or are considering alternative providers to the one
currently contracted, contact us first to appraise your requirements
professionally. Our many years' experience in this field gives us unrivalled
insights into the strengths and shortcomings of all the major players and if
requested, we can often introduce companies to new providers at preferential
premiums.
e-Learning facilities are increasingly
being sought after now that hardware systems are more widely available alongside
the fast broadband information technology. Employers who need to keep up-to-date
large numbers of staff, especially regarding new compliancy procedures or
induction details are finding that huge savings can be made by phasing out
classroom lectures and replacing them with universal standardised, yet bespoke
e-learning modules accessible through laptop or pcs at any time. This allows
staff to undertake continuing training at times and locations of their own
convenience. Attainments can be measured and marked, with progress onto advanced
modules possible only after satisfactory completion. Areas currently investing
in this cutting-edge application include; medical and pharmaceutical
companies, defence industries, petro-chemicals and even travel & leisure firms.
Andrew Walton & Associates (EU) are
working alongside one of Europe's leading e-learning innovators and are winning
contracts to provide e-learning solutions across a range of industry. If your
company needs to move its training protocols into the 21st Century, and make
colossal savings into the bargain, contact us now.
