Resolving workplace issues one IP address at a time

The past five decades have redefined corporate culture, highlighting the essential role of empathy in the business world. Today, while organisational behavior books refer to employees as “resources,” it’s critical to remember that each “resource” is much more than an IP address. He or she is a person with real issues, responsibilities, and aspirations on and beyond the work floor and it is imperative that these issues are identified and optimally resolved.

Corporate counselling, in essence, does exactly this. The whole aim of the counselling process is garnered towards addressing the unique psychological needs of the modern workforce and it acts as a valuable tool for businesses to support their employee’s mental health and well-being.

With the rise of digital technology and the impact of the 2020 pandemic, corporate counselling has evolved into an accessible, remote-friendly support system and this led to the emergence of the term ‘virtual or online corporate counselling’.

Advantages of online corporate counselling

• Counselling has become a vital aspect of Employee Assistance Programs, providing confidential support for personal and work-related challenges. Online corporate counselling removes barriers by allowing employees to seek help from anywhere, which reduces the need for travel or time off work and fosters a sense of convenience and privacy.

Soul Compass offers conflict resolution and mediation through virtual sessions, promoting active listening, enhancing team harmony, and providing a safe space for employees to address workplace dynamics in familiar remote settings.

• Incorporating behavioural counselling in online corporate sessions allows real-time support for stress, burnout, and other challenges. Targeted interventions help boost productivity, engagement, and morale, ultimately reducing absenteeism.

Virtual corporate counselling offered by Soul Compass allows for flexible scheduling, which integrates seamlessly with employees’ work commitments and promotes mental health awareness within the organization.

• The cost-effectiveness of online corporate counselling benefits organizations while providing employees with a safe and comfortable environment for personal growth. Employees can benefit from specialized counsellors, addressing areas like stress management and work-life balance.

Soul Compass offers cost effective counselling solutions to suit every organisation that has an employee-well-being oriented mind set.

Ultimately, online corporate counselling reflects a company’s commitment to employee well-being, making mental health services more accessible and tailored to individual needs.

At Soul Compass we integrate behavioural counselling with corporate programs, so that organizations can effectively support the emotional and psychological health of their workforce, laying the foundation for a healthier, more empathetic work culture.
