Supporting your employees' emotional wellbeing has the same benefits – to them and to your company – of taking care of their physical health.

  • 35% of all absence from work is due to stress, depression and anxiety
  • This costs UK business 12.8 million lost working days a year.

That's why Atos Healthcare offers confidential counselling services, delivered by a nationwide network of professional and qualified counsellors, all of whom have a profound understanding of the workplace environment.

The counsellors can provide help with a wide range of work-related issues, such as stress, workplace relationships, harassment, career problems and organisational changes.

They can also assist with personal problems, such as anxiety and depression, self-esteem issues, bereavement, or any other kind of life crisis.

For those who want total confidentiality, employees can seek the counselling themselves, without any involvement by management or colleagues. Alternatively, managers can refer employees – making the counselling, and the manager, a valuable part of the solution to problems such as work-related difficulties or sickness absence.

In cases of significant absence from work, Atos Healthcare's counsellors can carry out an absence assessment and then provide counselling or refer the employee to an occupational health adviser. This supports the management referral process and ensures a tight mechanism for responding quickly to absence.
