Ethics and Team Management
"Synergy-cooperation beyond normal expectations." Lao Tsu
Sharpe Thinking offers a variety of services to organisations to assist with these issues:
- short group sessions to explain the legislation
- workshops on coping methods to deal with stress
- discreet one to one sessions for key staff requiring support
The team includes qualified psychologists and lawyers and we use the latest research on impulse control and how to overcome resistance to change.
Under recent employment and health and safety legislation employers are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the threat of litigation by their employees for stress-induced health conditions.
As a coping mechanism many people turn to ‘pick-me-up’ behaviours, such as drinking alcohol, taking drugs and surfing the Internet. Too often occasional pleasures can become habits and lead to addictions. Once dependencies take control of an individual’s thinking and behaviour the needs of the company take second place.
Conditions related to:
- substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy, etc)
- internet addiction (gambling, pornography, shopping)
- sexual harassment (inappropriate touching, bullying, exclusion, lewd language)
may be exacerbated by stress in the workplace and contribute to accidents, poor decision-making and unacceptable behaviour.
Let us help your organisation become more proactive in dealing with the signs and symptoms of addictive behaviours in your key staff that can lead to accidents, poor decision-making, sexual harassment, reduced productivity and expensive litigation.
