Corporate Stop Smoking Programme

Why not encourage and support your staff in giving up smoking by joining our corporate programme?

South London and Surrey’s leading independent stop smoking service based in the centre of Croydon

• All the benefits of being a non-smoker
• Staff discount
• Highly professional and successful service
• No cost to you - the employer

There are a number of benefits to encouraging staff to quit smoking. Numerous studies have shown that compared to non-smokers and ex-smokers, smokers are:

• Likely to take up to three times more sick days
• Have lower productivity
• Taker more frequent and longer breaks (the new legislation means that smokers have to go even further to have a cigarrete)
• Inadvertently cause resentment among non-smokers
• Be generally less satisfied with their life
• Have more difficulty concentrating, relaxing & focusing
• Likely to be more agitated and stressed

Of course most smokers will admit to the above and may not even be consciously aware of it. Many mistakenly believe that smoking helps them relax and concentrate. However, this is an illusion as the difficulty in relaxing and concentrating is caused by nicotine cravings in the first place!

Benefits of giving up smoking:

• Savings of over £2000 per year on average - that’s quite a significant tax free pay rise
• Healthier, fitter and have more energy
• Feel better about themselves and have a sense of achievement

How it works

• An educational and low pressure approach to avoid building up resentment or resistance
• We provide you with advice and support materials
• You notify your staff via email, company notice board etc.
• We can hold a free educational seminar for your staff
• They contact us directly - in confidence and claim their corporate discount
• They choose between a single 2 hour session or two sessions (1 hour & 1.5 hours)
• Includes are full pre-session programme and post-quitting support programme

How you can support your staff

• It is best not to put too much pressure on them as most smokers resent the amount of pressure being placed on them to quit.
• You do not pay for the treatment - it is important that they show commitment by making a contribution.
• We will offer a significant discount on our normal rates.
• A good way to support them is by allowing them some time off to attend the programme this could be an extending lunch break, arriving a bit late or leaving early.

Free Introduction to Stop Smoking Seminar

We are willing to hold a free introduction to stop smoking seminar at your premises. It can be based on our CD "Break Free From The Trap" or tailored to suit your needs. The aim of the seminar is to help motivate employees to become non-smokers and give them some advice to help them on their way.

Call us today to discuss how we can help your staff make a successful transition to being permanent non-smokers.
