Welcome to Stress Management Plus

Stress Management Plus is an independent stress management consultancy, involved in stress management for businesses and individuals.

Based in the Reading area, we are involved in supporting the organisation and the individual to better manage stress at work and at home.

For the organisation, stress can get in the way of the business performing as well as it should do. That’s not healthy for staff, or for the bottom line. With a ‘Company Health Check’, we can examine what’s going on for staff members, and for the company as a whole. It’s a useful management tool, a two-way communication with staff, which involves gaining feedback from staff, and action planning. Most importantly, where appropriate, we can provide stress management interventions for staff, teams and company-wide.

For the business, apart from the legal (health and safety) requirements, it may be that

you are concerned about the level of sick absence due to stress and the effect it's having on others' workloads and business performance, and the human and financial cost
stress is affecting our ability to perform and impacting on the quality of work being produced
you want to minimise the chances of litigation

There are of course many, many reasons why promoting wellbeing and managing stress makes good sense. For example

promoting wellbeing will lead to a more contented workforce, who will perform more effectively
when you have staff who tell you they're struggling, or it comes to light via another indicator (e.g. management information or as a result of a staff survey)
if the company is going through change and uncertainty, and you want to ensure that they cope and can deal with the transition without compromising their wellbeing and company performance

For the individual

stress may be interfering with your ability to live life the way you want to
you may want to find coping strategies to deal with something short-term or longer term
