Hypnotherapy has a 90% success rate in stopping people from smoking
Hypnotherapy has the highest success rate
Hypnotherapy which has a proven track record and a 90% success rate is generally accepted, this makes it the best solution to help people stop smoking.
One-Off Hypnotherapy Sessions
However, one-off hypnotherapy sessions would be both impractical in lost working hours and costly, as these individual session costs range from £225 to £350.
It is acknowledged that personal one-off hypnotherapy sessions are not as effective and clients frequently need further individual sessions, the number of which would depend on the individual client.
Corporate Solutions for Hypnotherapy
The average cost per person for Corporate solution providers to supply this service is £225 for multiple bookings i.e. typically more than 5 persons or £245 or more per individual booking, these costs do not include the additional cost to you in lost working hours.
However, group sessions have a much higher failure rate, partly because such sessions are not taken seriously by those participating and seen as a cushy alternative to work for a few hours.
The Effective Alternative - in every way
So although Hypnotherapy is the best solution, the cost to your company could be significant. Certain Words can offer you a cost effective Hypnotherapy solution.
A Certain Words Hypnotherapy CD provides an ongoing support system, is the equivalent of multiple, one-to-one personal sessions with a hypnotherapist, is used at a time and place of the client's own choosing and at a fraction of the cost of a single session, with the added bonus that it doesn't require a paid absence from work, so has no hidden costs.
You could offer your smoking employees a CD based Hypnotherapy Session which would provide them with the same benefits as a personal one to one session for less than £20 per person! And, they keep the CD to use daily and/or whenever they feel the need for a top-up, at no extra cost.
We recommend that if an employee returns to smoking then they repay the initial cost to the company, because this raises the involvement and commitment to the process and so helps to ensure success.
