Corporate Stop Smoking Program

Why Change?

This world is rapidly changing. Competition is becoming intense. In the process of scrutinizing employees and their productivity, business should be aware of the following:

    * Smokers average up to 50% more absenteeism
    * Smokers use health care and hospitals 50% more
    * Smokers have twice as many on-the-job accidents
    * Smokers' life expectancies are shorter

Add to the list: loss of time while smoking, property damage and depreciation, increased cost of maintenance and cleaning, involuntary smoking to other employees. . .It's not difficult to see why corporate America is rapidly gravitating towards non-smoking environments. A recent national survey found that 75% of smoking workers and 87% of non-smoking workers favored either designated smoking areas or a total ban on smoking in the workplace.

On average, smokers are absent 50% more often than nonsmokers. A study found that cigarette smokers missed 5.5 more days of work per year than non-smoking employees. Smokers cost you temporary replacements, lowered productivity as well as a drop in morale among employees who are on the job and must cope with the absences.

In addition, time is lost each workday due to cigarette breaks. On an average, 3.5 cigarette breaks are taken per day, ranging 5-15 minutes each time and an additional 1-2 times during non-break periods by almost every person who smokes.

Why change?. . .Because improving your employees improves your bottom line!

You laugh, scream, cry. Your emotions are twisted. You hae had a hypnotic moment!

No Magical Hocus-Pocus
Hypnosis is possibly one of the most misunderstood aspects of modern psychology. Any time you are in a relaxed, concentrated activity like exercising, athletics, hobbies, or intensely listening to your favorite tune. . .you are using the rejuvenating aspects of hypnosis. There is no loss of consciousness. You will simply be relaxed and open to suggestion. Better understanding of your subconscious can help you find out what you think about those habits that you want to adjust. Change is inevitable. Making that change positive is up to you!
