This brochure describes the EAP (employee assistance programme) wellbeing we offer to businesses. It outlines our unique Life Design Package which combines counselling and coaching in Somerset and North Devon. Please contact us for costs of the service. We offer a pay as you go package so suitable for both small and large employers.

1. LIFE DESIGN
All employees, performing at their best,
for a more innovating and productive business

2. LIFE DESIGN is a revolutionary new approach to traditional,
out-dated Employee Assistant Programmes. Uniquely fusing
the professions of counselling and coaching, it addresses
many of the ‘people problems’ faced by employers in our
fast-paced, ever-changing world.
WORKPLACE WELLBEING
Today we are all under considerable
pressure to perform, whether in
personal aspects of our lives or in
the workplace.
This pressure can damage our
relationships with friends and family
whilst under-achievement at work can
influence our earning potential. Both
impact on our lifestyle choices and
living standards. At times it can feel
like a vicious circle that we simply
don’t feel strong enough to break.
When this begins to impact on
our employer’s bottom line, many
businesses offer reactive support to
their employees; a plaster to try and
hold it all together.
At this time everyone is suffering
as a consequence. Morale drops,
productivity falls, sickness levels
increase and unhealthy staff turnover
can stress even the best of teams.

4. PREVENTION
Having listened to the companies
and individuals we work with, we
have produced a completely new
type of package for SMEs and micro-
providers called LIFE DESIGN.
It offers an alternative route, one
that prevents the ups and downs
that reactive responses inevitably
deliver, and where the company and
individual don’t have to suffer before
action is taken.
LIFE DESIGN will help stabilise
your workplace and bring with it
real financial benefits and a much
improved working environment for all.
WHAT IS LIFE DESIGN?
Traditionally, a distinction has been
made between counselling and
coaching that has, for the most part,
meant that clients are treated very
differently, depending which service
they choose.
“Having recognised that the needs
of our clients have changed, it
was time to design something
for the problems, situations and
pressures that sit around today’s
new society and its demands.”
We cannot hide from the fact that
the world is changing and we are
changing with it; LIFE DESIGN is an
acknowledgment of the need for a
much more integrated and holistic
form of therapy, which brings a
combination of the two disciplines
into a structured and carefully
devised approach to finding solutions.
Integrating counselling and coaching
in a very new way, LIFE DESIGN
offers a creative platform to help your
employees achieve their goals and/or
specific desired improvements.

5. HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS?
LIFE DESIGN will help your staff:
Strengthen their ability to manage stress
Develop emotional resilience
Cope with uncertainty and change
Manage more effectively
Develop leadership skills and their personal productivity
Undertake change and transition
Tap into a place where new strength can emerge
Develop new business ideas by stimulating creative thinking
We support and enable individuals and organisations that are:
Designing a new life Living with transitional challenge
Growing through tough times Creating new sustainable futures
We do this through the way we engage and work with clients to craft a
creative developmental experience that enables them to engage with, and
draw from, latent abilities and hidden inspirations, to nurture and establish
new personal and organisational realities – we call it the New Leaf Experience.
Investing proactively in your valued employees and concentrating on the
practical issues of setting goals and achieving results within specific time
scales, this model of Workplace Coaching helps individuals explore their own
potential within their work and personal lives. It improves self-awareness,
confidence and morale, helping to build a stronger, more productive team;
a win-win resolution to a very real problem within society today.
DID YOU KNOW?
One in five employees suffer
from work-related stress
each year
The Chartered Institute for
Professional Development
(CIPD) found that in 2015,
absence cost employers an
average of £554 for each
employee per year
Absenteeism amounts to an
estimated annual cost of £13
billion in the UK economy
Presenteeism, where
employees attend work
when they are unwell, is
reported to have increased
to 31% in 2015 (CIPD)
In a recent analysis of
counselling participants who
attended New Leaf, 93%
said their reactions to the
sessions were ‘very good’
and 90% said they found the
sessions ‘very useful’.
100% said they would
recommend the sessions to
a friend or colleague

6. THE PROBLEMS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), companies
with between 1 and 249 employees, make up over
99 per cent of UK private sector businesses. Their
varied circumstances bring an equally wide range
of health and wellbeing challenges. Recent data
on the health of the UK workforce has suggested
that almost one in every three employees has
at least one long-term health condition. The
significant proportion of SME employees who
fall onto disability welfare, without first having
a period of sickness absence, is indicative of the
particular issues faced within SMEs.
Both absence and presenteeism (attending
work whilst sick) represent significant direct
financial costs to businesses, and these may be
exaggerated in smaller businesses due to an
inability to compensate for, or cover, staff who
are unwell. This can lead to lost business and
operational difficulties, including an inability to
meet customer expectations.

We use New Leaf because we believe
that they are a green responsible
company, innovative, creative and
work in a way very similar to Bray
