Are you an employer of individuals who deal with stressful and potentially traumatic issues and event? So many aspects can affect a person’s welfare and wellbeing and it can be very difficult to raise these issues and worries with their immediate line management. There can also be issues that would be difficult to support within the immediate employment setting. Dedicated professional and independent welfare and wellbeing support can make a huge difference to an employee’s wellbeing and welfare and help them to maintain their work commitments or return to work more quickly after an event has affected their ability to work. DMWS has considerable experience in dealing with high pressure environments and being able to connect with people to help identify and resolve issues and concerns that can affect health and wellbeing and their work and home life.
