The International Institute For  Self-Help Holistic Therapies Ltd.

Who are our clients ?

Chief executive officers (CEOs), Top-level Managers, Direct Supervisors, Human Resource Managers.

In the workforce, this is the category who generally used to receive the best protection against stress, anxiety and depression. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology reveals that compared to the general population, top-level executives and managers were 50% less likely to die if men, and 38% less likely to die if women, the gender difference being related to lung cancer and smoking. ”Employment in high-level occupations appears to confer a substantial, but not necessarily equal, level of survival advantage between men and women.” (A.J.E 2001).

However stress-related problems are indicated in half of all premature deaths.

Many factors contribute to stress at work, and the top-level manager must identify them if he is to alleviate the strain on his team and maintain its performance.

Top-level executives tend to absorb and filter the stress of others, and to   this end they need to be able to detect or recognize warning symptoms of stress around them and take action.

Increased responsibility, pressure and job uncertainty have led to unprecedented levels of stress in the workplace, affecting performance at work, and health and happiness at home. The cost of stress to the employer is mounting, and organisations need to recognise stress in their employees and train their staff to manage stress and pressure productively.

The top-level managerial function increasingly includes high exposure to stress of others and the need to be prepared to cope successfully with stressful situations and be able to:

• Identify negative stressors
• Apply practical stress-coping strategies
• Develop a stress-resistant personality            
• Modify negative habits and patterns            
• Manage conflict and difficult situations          
• Learn no-fail relaxation techniques            
• Practice practical stress-reduction strategies            
• Understand how stress is caused and how it affects people            
• Recognise stress in others and help them manage it more effectively

It is worth introducing psychology to top-level executives and managers since it can greatly contribute to improving their performance, but there are hitches:

• It is difficult for a top-level executive to find the time to commit himself to regular sessions with a therapist.   

• A company’s problems may be highly sensitive and there can be a reluctance to talk about them.
