Employee Assistance, Workplace Counselling and Mediation


Life today is complicated and Employees have more to deal with both at work and in the home.  Sometimes problems need addressing to avoid increases in absence and decreases in efficiency at work.  Confidential Employee Assistance, including Workplace Counselling and Psychotherapy can solve these issues. Employee disputes can be costly and time consuming, our Workplace Mediation service saves you time and money

Our client base includes the Public Sector, Private Companies, as well as a specific services to Further and Higher Education, including Universities.

Work related stress, depression and staff sickness absence are major problems for you the employer, and your staff, costing time, money and even litigation.

Claims brought against employers for stress are on the rise. In addition the amount and complexity of employment legislation is growing all the time. Amian can help

There have been a number of Court Cases and new Legislation relating to Employment Law and an Employer's Duty of Care as well as implied obligations for the use of formal Workplace Mediation in employment disputes.  Our services are designed to enhance your options in the approach to such issues.  In addition the minimisation of sickness absence and the promotion of wellbeing at work and home have numerous benefits for both Employer and Employee.  We can provide services individually for each client from a full employee assistance programme to ad hoc usage as and when needed. 

Some other services we provide are Critical Incident Debriefing, Management Training in Conflict Resolution, and on site mediation within staff departments to resolve underlying issues, which are conflicting with their main goal. 

Presenteeism is where staff are in work but not working efficiently or not at all.
Pressure to be seen in the workplace, makes employees attend work when they should be off sick and/or receiving help with their problems. Sick pay can have a massive effect on this consideration

Amian have long experience of keeping people in work, helping them to remain productive whilst at the same time addressing their problems.  Presenteeism is costing UK Business £15 billion a year.

In today's ever competitive environment, employers who do not address the efficiency of their employees issues have a major disadvantage.  Most companies have already identified where cost savings can be made, now its time to ensure your staff are happy and focused on their role with our Employee Assistance and Wellness.

Our strengths are being local to Northern organisations and that we can provide each of our services to be used as much or as little as you want.  There is no set package, from full Employee Assistance, Mediation, Counselling backed up with promotion, to ad hoc services as and when you need them.

You will find our prices very reasonable considering the savings we can generate !
