Spiritess Life Coaching & Business

Causes of Stress

Work related stress is one of the biggest factors behind absenteeism in the work place; it causes a decrease in productivity, which results in financial loss for companies. 

It has been reported that sickness absence continues to be a significant operational and financial burden on the public sector, with estimated costs to the tax payer of £4billion a year, with stress increasingly becoming the main factor for absenteeism.

Stress can be caused by many external factors such as divorce, bereavement, moving house or financial problems.  Although employers cannot be held responsible for stress caused from external factors; they must take such matters into account when dealing with poor performance and/or increased absence.

At work a number of scenarios and issues can cause stress as listed below.

• Excessively high workloads, with unrealistic deadlines making people feel rushed and overwhelmed.
• Insufficient workloads, making people feel that their skills are being underused.
• A lack of control over work activities.
• A lack of interpersonal support or poor working relationships leading to a sense of isolation.
• People being asked to do a job for which they have insufficient experience or training.
• Problems settling into a new promotion, both in terms of meeting the new role's requirements and adapting to possible changes in relationships with colleagues.
• Bullying or harassment.
• A poor physical working environment - perhaps caused by excessive heat, cold or noise.

What is life coaching?

• Life coaching removes the interference that stands between clients and the achievement of their potential.
• Life coaching focuses on results and nothing but results.
• Life coaching works on all areas and aspects of life.

Life coaching is not about counselling.  It is about offering individuals alternatives towards achieving their desired work related and personal goals.

How can Life coaching help you, your business or institution?

Life Coaching works by following well practiced and effective models.  Each model is set to achieve client goals and promote results in the least time needed. Un-like counselling coaching is time limited & performance rated. 

A quasi experimental study carried out amongst 31 participants from a U.K finance organisation measured depression, anxiety and stress pre & post coaching.
The study showed that the stress and anxiety levels of those in the coaching group was lower than those in the control group and remained so after coaching.

However, success whether personal or greater will only truly be effective if all concerned are operating at their highest and most effective level.

Spiritess Life coaching aims to offer your business/institution the opportunity to improve it’s potential by guiding those most concerned towards performing at their optimum level.

 What can life coaching do for your business?

Life Coaching improves the individual’s proficiency by allowing them to develop techniques that benefit their out look, on how they want to be.
Improved out look will enhance the individual’s self confidence, encouraging them to become more efficient in the work place.
This will in turn produce a significant decrease in absenteeism which will result in an increase in productivity.
