For employers

It often starts small. Someone is a little more tired. Calls in sick for a day, then another. Is shorter-tempered, less sharp than you're used to. Early signs that someone is no longer holding up quite so well.

The reflex is often to wait, or to say: take some time off, go and talk to a coach. Sometimes that helps. But in that early phase there is so much more possible, and it's exactly then that you can prevent it from turning into long-term absence.

I know that world from the inside. As a former CEO and COO, I know what sustained pressure does to people in an organisation, and what it costs when someone drops out. Invitation to Yourself is a programme that steps in at that early moment: one-on-one, online, three months, for those who are running on reserves but haven't yet fallen over.

Is there someone on your team this applies to? I'd be glad to talk about what's possible.
