Sophrology, Organisational Change & Employee Well-Being

This report focuses on one case study organisation and their offering of sophrology to support employees during a period of significant change. Research was conducted in the head office of a FTSE 100 international financial services group who is in the process of closing its London operation and making redundancies over a two year period. The organisation has been mindful of its responsibilities towards its employees and offered a number of employee well-being initiatives alongside more traditional outplacement services. The support for well-being included sophrology sessions for a small number of staff. Research was conducted by Dr Samantha Evans of Kent Business School to assess the value and use to employees of the sophrology sessions on offer.
