“Reaching people before they reach crisis”

Karinya Counselling Centres might just have what you are looking for to really make a difference.

Employees are your most precious resource. Low job satisfaction leads to high staff turnover and absenteeism, costing businesses across Victoria millions of dollars each year. On the other hand, The Harvard Business Review reports that a mere 5% increase in employee retention can result in a 10% decrease in costs and an increase in productivity between 25% to 65%.

At Karinya we believe that investing in the wellbeing of employees not only strengthens relationships, but also saves money by dealing with the core issues behind the problems that lead to absenteeism and employee turnover. The return on your investment in the wellbeing of your staff can include lower costs, increased loyalty, a healthier work environment and greater productivity.

Karinya believes that ‘Reaching People Before They Reach Crisis’ is integral to a healthy workplace. Our range of counselling and training seminars are all designed to promote reconciliation and co-operation within the workplace.
