Corporate Sessions
Easyway is without doubt the most successful method of helping people to stop smoking in the world. Since 1983 over 400,000 people have stopped smoking with Easyway and there are now 46 centres worldwide. World-wide corporate clients of Easyway include companies such as Pepsi, Esso, BMW, HP Invent, Sony, Woolworths, London Stock Exchange, Marks & Spencer, IKEA, BP, Chemical Bank, Guinness, Pfizer Corporation, DuPont, Levi Strauss, KLM, Virgin, IBM, Schweppes, Allied Dunbar, Channel 4, PPP Healthcare, Unilever, AXA Insurance, the National Health Service and Nestle to name but a few.
North West area clients include The Environment Agency, JCB, Cheshire Building Society, PN Daly Engineering, Pannone & Partners, Total Oil and many others Follow up studies, up to two years later, by corporations using Easyway have shown that between 60% and 80% of those smokers who attended a five and a half-hour session continued to be happy non-smokers. No other method comes close to this success rate. For this reason Allen Carr was the invited speaker on Assisting Cessation at a recent World Health Organisation Conference in Beijing.
Sessions can be held in a venue of your choice. Most clients require only one attendance to become a happy non-smoker for life, but we offer free booster sessions for the minority that need them. If the individual attends two booster sessions and starts smoking again within three months of the initial session, then a full refund is provided: our success rate of over 90% means that we are the only smoking cessation organisation who can afford to make this unique guarantee.
Reasons For Implementing A Corporate Stop Smoking Programme
Most people will know colleagues and employees whose lives and health would benefit from stopping smoking. Investing in a programme to help people stop smoking gives the desirable picture, both to staff and outsiders, that the company cares for the well being of its employees.
Studies conducted for our leading corporate clients show a return on investment exceeding 600% through productivity gains derived from the implementation of our stop smoking programme.
Many companies have accepted the overwhelming evidence about the harm caused by cigarette smoke upon the health and productivity of smoking and non-smoking employees. Spurred on by the increasing worldwide litigation from non-smokers whose health has been damaged while working in a smoking environment, the obvious solution has been to simply ban smoking in the workplace. Unfortunately, whilst this removes some of the problems of passive smoking, the effect is usually to decrease the productivity of smoking employees. Smokers often resent the introduction of this new working condition and may well leave their work area to "sneak" cigarettes in stairwells, lift areas or even outside the building. Other smokers will clock-watch in a distracted state, waiting for lunch-breaks or the end of the working day when they can finally have a cigarette. For these reasons our corporate clients have discovered that Easyway’s approach of simultaneously helping employees to stop is a more effective way of tackling the issue of smoking in the workplace.
With the recently announced white paper on Smoking in the Workplace, employers are even more aware that action needs to be taken to avoid costly legislation as well as to improve productivity.
