Why would I use Manager Assist?
Managers and supervisors are regularly faced with challenging and emotional situations and must make decisions that will affect employees' lives. Being senior in a company, or leading a team, does not always make these decisions easy. Managers and supervisors need support too.
What kind of things can I discuss?
Common issues include, but are not limited to:
Assisting staff to manage organisational change
Redundancy and outplacement support
Managing highly distressed or traumatised employees
Concerns related to significant mental health issues, such as self-harm and suicide
Education related to common mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety
Developing resilience in teams or with individuals
Fitness-for-work related issues
Performance management
Managing difficult employees
Leadership development
Enhancing communication skills
Focus on Mental Health or Organisational Health
We offer two different types of care for different situations. You can choose which best meets your needs or contact us to discuss which may be the more suitable option. Each service is supported by teams that specialise in the topics covered.
Mental Health Support for Leaders
You'll meet with a psychologist with expertise in helping you support employees with mental health concerns. This service is particularly useful if you need guidance relating to an individual on your team and their care.
Leadership Coaching and Development
Provided by the PeopleSense Organisational Psychology Team, this service is targeted at those managers needing help with change management, performance concerns, and the psychosocial risk within their teams.
Who will I be talking with?
Manager Assist sessions are offered by senior registered psychologists who all have specialised training in the unique needs of managers and team leaders. For sessions discussing leadership coaching and development, you'll be working with a member of our Organisational Psychology Team with qualifications in the unique needs of organisations and their people.
Is the service confidential?
