In your business, who is struggling at the moment?
As a leader, maintaining the wellbeing of your people is essential to your recruitment business, especially when times are tough. You may already have a budget that you allocate to ‘wellbeing’, but it can be hard to know where to invest your time and money, when wellbeing is so difficult to quantify.
Which people are experiencing difficulties outside of work that are affecting their performance? Are some of your consultants distracted and underperforming? Is this also having a negative impact on the wider team?
Purpose Mentoring is a unique service that helps people in recruitment who are trying to balance a pressurised job alongside challenges at home. You can enable people on your team to access private, online sessions with Steve Twinley, a qualified counsellor who also has over 17 years’ recruitment experience – in other words, someone who understands what your people do, and the pressures they are under.
You can learn more on our Recruitment web page, and can book a FREE consultation here.
Different programmes are available to TRN members:
- Counselling for Performance (individual, ad-hoc sessions for specific individuals. No contracts, no obligations – simply pay on a session-by-session basis)
- Retained Employee Support (monthly retainer for a defined number of sessions)
- Leadership Support and Development (helping new and experienced leaders with the personal burden of having managerial responsibilities)
Each of these programmes can be customised to your specific needs. To give you a rough idea of cost, the standard rate per 50-minute session is £60. For programmes where multiple sessions are booked, this rate is negotiable.
If you currently provide your staff with access to an EAP (Employee Assistance Programme), ask yourself: How much are people engaging with this? Does it provide the personalised, one-to-one support they need?
Purpose sessions are a tangible, real way to show your team that you care. They show that you are investing in your people’s wellbeing, whilst also respecting their need for privacy. Please get in touch for a completely confidential, free consultation about how your people can become:
- More consistent
- More resilient
- Better at communicating with each other
- Able to manage their own time more effectively
- More aware of their own abilities, strengths and weaknesses
- Able to process what is going on at home, so they can be more present and positive at work
These are the main points about what makes Purpose Mentoring different to EAP offerings and other counselling:
- Unlike most counselling which can often take 4-6 weeks to start, Purpose sessions can be booked with just 24 hours’ notice.
- Sessions can take place either during or outside of working hours, to suit you and your people.
- There doesn’t have to be any long-term commitment, making this a very cost-effective wellbeing solution that you can turn on and off as much as you want.
- Some other recruitment businesses go 50/50 with their staff, covering half of the session fees while the other half is deducted as a pre-tax employee benefit.
- Steve’s background in running a successful recruitment business, combined with counselling and psychology qualifications, gives him an appreciation for the specific pressures that your people may have. It means we can cover a lot of ground quite quickly.
- Several case studies can be provided on request, so you can hear about how some other recruitment businesses are benefiting from Purpose sessions.
Steve worked his way up to becoming Manager Director of a successful life science recruitment business. Alongside this, he has a first-class degree in Psychology from Oxford University and is a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor, with over 10 years’ experience of helping people through a range of personal challenges.
