Corporate Leaders Should Consider Counseling Skills for Their Employees
Corporate leaders should consider counseling skills for their employees because employees who are struggling with mental health issues are more likely to be absent from work, less productive when they are at work, and more likely to leave their jobs. Counseling skills can help employees deal with these issues and be more successful in their careers.
Honey, You Need Counseling Skills: Heal Yourself, Ignite the Leader, Grow your Business by Erica Kesse, LPC is a book that can help employees develop counseling skills. The book provides employees with the tools and resources they need to manage stress, build a support network, learn from mistakes, and more.
The 5 imperative counseling skills of vision casting, mission creation, communication skills, time management, and thrive planning are all essential for employees. Vision casting is the ability to create a clear and compelling vision for the future. Mission creation is the process of defining the purpose of an organization. Communication skills are essential for employees who need to be able to communicate effectively with their colleagues, managers, and clients. Time management is essential for employees who need to be able to manage their time effectively in order to get things done. Thrive planning is essential for employees who need to be able to plan for the future and ensure that their careers are successful.
Other counseling skills that would benefit employees include:
- Problem-solving skills. Employees need to be able to identify and solve problems in order to be successful.
- Decision-making skills. Employees need to be able to make decisions quickly and effectively.
- Stress management. Employees are often under a lot of stress, and they need to be able to manage that stress in order to be successful.
- Organizational skills. Employees need to be able to organize their time and their work in order to be efficient and effective.
- Teamwork skills. Employees often work with other people, and they need to be able to work effectively as part of a team.
- Motivation skills. Employees need to be able to motivate themselves and others in order to be successful.
By developing these counseling skills, employees can be more successful in their careers.
In addition to the counseling skills mentioned above, corporate leaders should also consider providing their employees with access to mental health resources. This could include providing on-site counseling services, offering employee assistance programs, or providing information about mental health resources in the community.
