Work counselling means reviewing your work with the help of a work counsellor. The purpose of work counselling is to discuss the employee’s thoughts and feelings about their work with a trained professional, thus enabling the employee to solve challenging situations in their working life. Successful work counselling helps employees find the resources they need to maintain their energy levels and develop their skills.
Work counselling is based on trust and interaction. The counsellor aims to provide the employee with tools to personally identify work-related issues they may previously not have realised. The objective is to clarify and strengthen the employee’s work-related identity and to increase enjoyment at work. This also increases the productivity and quality of the work.
Work counselling can benefit anyone from employees to executives. Counselling can be organised for individuals as well as groups; you can attend a session alone or with your department or management group, for example. Work counselling is usually a long-term process but it is always planned according to the employee’s needs and goals.
Work counselling is an excellent solution for promoting employees’ well-being, the functionality of the work community and the meaningfulness of work. All this increases efficiency and productivity as well as the comprehensive well-being of the organisation. The entire organisation benefits from happy and healthy employees.
