The Unstuck Session in the workplace
A practical way to support the employee you can see is carrying something.
Can I ask you a question?
Have you ever had a member of staff who was not unwell, did not need disciplinary action and was not ready for counselling, but you could see something was weighing on them and affecting how they were showing up at work?
Kahu Workplace gives you somewhere appropriate to turn.
Until now, the options may have felt like doing nothing or moving towards a formal support process that did not quite fit.
Another option
One independent conversation before the issue becomes heavier.
The Unstuck Session is a private, employer-funded 90-minute conversation with somebody completely outside the employee’s workplace and personal life.
It gives them space to say what is really going on, separate what has become tangled together and think more clearly about what they need to do next.
It is not therapy, a programme or an ongoing commitment.
Where does it fit?
Between noticing that something is affecting a member of staff and deciding that the only available response is a formal one.
What your business gains
A straightforward pathway when you want to help but cannot solve the problem yourself.
A meaningful way to support a valued employee
Offer something practical rather than simply hoping the situation resolves itself.
An earlier route to support
Give the employee somewhere independent to talk before the issue begins taking up more room.
No need to diagnose what is wrong
The manager does not need to decide whether the issue is personal, professional or serious enough for another service.
Support without a large wellbeing programme
Create access to help without committing to workshops, memberships or a substantial ongoing contract.
When it may help
For the employee who is still turning up, but is not quite themselves.
Something at work
A difficult relationship, loss of confidence, a decision they cannot settle or something they are struggling to say.
Something outside work
Caring responsibilities, family tension, health uncertainty or a personal issue that is following them into the working day.
Too much occupying their mind
Replaying conversations, second-guessing themselves or carrying several smaller concerns that have become tangled together.
Designed with smaller businesses in mind
Support your people without building an entire wellbeing programme.
Smaller and medium-sized businesses often care deeply about their people but do not have an internal wellbeing team, a large HR department or the budget for an extensive employee support package.
Kahu Workplace provides a focused option that can sit ready until somebody genuinely needs it.
- No monthly membership
- No workshops to organise
- No large ongoing contract
- No requirement to use sessions every month
- No need for the manager to solve the issue
Simple and confidential
Your company provides access. The employee receives the conversation.
Your company purchases a small block of sessions.
The sessions remain available to use when support is genuinely needed.
You offer the session to an employee.
With their agreement, you connect them directly with Lesley.
They have one private conversation.
No programme. No ongoing commitment. No need to explain the situation to their employer.
What the employee chooses to discuss remains private. The employer receives no information about the content of the conversation.
