CORPORATE SERVICES

The value of clinical psychology services is no longer seen as confined to the treatment of clinical conditions. Recent developments have seen psychology embraced into corporate settings with extensive beneficial outcomes. Many major global corporations and public bodies (Google, Harvard Business School, Transport for London, GlaxoSmithKline, KPMG) have been publicised as incorporating psychological well-being interventions such as Mindfulness into the workplace and leadership programmes.

 

Research shows that employers who invest in mental health initiatives (such as screening and facilitating health seeking behaviour) can expect a five-fold return on that investment; Hilton, 2005; cited in Flaxman et al 2013). 

 

Costs to companies are not just from sickness absences. In fact, the cost of sickness absence to UK business (£8.4 billion per year) is far less than the costs of reduced productivity due to mental ill health in the workplace (£15.1 billion per year) (Source, Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health, 2007).

 

The company’s greatest asset and greatest challenge are the people in it.

Businesses succeed and fail due to relationships and interpersonal factors. Training your organisational leaders and workforce in psychological flexibility is one of the best ways you can invest in your business and enhance individual and system wide resilience.
