Are your profits going up in smoke?

Did you know that every smoker on your payroll could be costing your business up to $5,000 every year? With 17% of Australians being smokers, that’s over $1million of lost revenue for every 1,000 employees.

Statistically, smokers take more time out of their workday, have more sick days, and are more expensive to insure.

*The average smoker:

• Loses up to 30 minutes a day – or 14 working days a year – on smoke breaks
• Takes 5 days more sick-leave a year on average than non-smokers
• Costs 35-50% more to insure, a figure continually on the rise

Imagine the financial benefit of helping 50% of your people give up smoking, for good, with just one, five hour seminar. And imagine if the results were 100% guaranteed – or your money back.

Allen Carr’s Easyway® is the world’s most successful corporate stop-smoking program. Since 1983, over 300,000 people have stopped smoking with Easyway® and there are now nearly 100 Allen Carr’s Easyway® centres worldwide.

The results you need or your money back.

According to recent studies, many employers want to help their employees quit smoking, but most don’t know how.

And while over 70% of smokers themselves want to quit, many are poorly served by conventional quit smoking methods which typically have success rates below 10%.

Unlike other methods, Allen Carr’s Easyway® is easy, fast and effective. Benefits include:

• Return on investment – With a potential saving of up to $5,000 per annum for every smoker employed, the program provides a typical ROI of 600%.
• Cultural improvements – Incredible cultural advantage is gained through your employees feeling they are working for a business that cares for their wellbeing. Allen Carr’s Easyway® also benefits non-smokers by heightening the overall productivity and effectiveness of the office environment – and reducing tension over constant “smoke breaks”.
• Employee benefits – The International Society of Certified Employee Benefits Specialists ranks stopping smoking first among health programs for return on investment – far ahead of cholesterol screening and weight control.

Studies reveal that after conducting an Easyway® course, the majority of employees experience a reduction in stress levels, an increase in productivity,more energy better health and increased focus.

• A safer working environment – While fewer smokers (and hence fewer passive smokers) offers undeniable overall health benefits for your people, it also means a significantly reduced fire hazard – as well as a reduction in unsightly cigarette litter outside your office premises.

In addition, Allen Carr’s Easyway® has a global network of clinics and Australia-wide coverage, meaning you can turn to Easyway® virtually anywhere.

The program also works for all smokers – regardless of age, gender, or smoking/quitting history. There are no drugs, patches, lozenges, lasers or willpower, just a logical and sensible approach.

It’s the easy way to help your people quit, or your money back.

What does an Allen Carr’s Easyway® corporate program include?

Each corporate program consists of one, in-depth seminar for groups of up to 20 smokers.

Each seminar lasts approximately five hours and includes up to five cigarette breaks – including a final “last cigarette” ritual. Sessions are conducted at our clinics – or your premises for groups of more than 10 people (subject to conditions).

Though most people quit easily and enjoyably at the core seminar, we also offer post-seminar booster sessions and personal telephone counselling where necessary.

How and why does it work?

Information is presented in a clear, compelling, and action-oriented manner by a fully qualified Allen Carr’s Easyway® facilitator, all of whom are ex-smokers and who quit smoking using Allen Carr’s Easyway®.

Throughout the session, cognitive techniques are used to teach smokers how to re-interpret their smoking experience. Using each smoker’s own experiences, we demonstrate:

• How smokers’ brains have been tricked into believing smoking relieves stress, aids concentration and provides relaxation
• Why this belief system makes it difficult and unpleasant to quit smoking using willpower
• How it can be easy to change these beliefs and replace them with a belief system that makes it easy to quit
• How smokers actually experience physical withdrawal every day and cope with it easily
• How to be a happy non-smoker, with no sense of deprivation

Despite many smokers having some initial concerns about the prospect of quitting, the vast majority of attendees find the seminar positive, inspirational, empowering and effective.

Allen Carr’s Easyway® method is equally effective for all smokers, irrespective of age, gender, and smoking and quitting history.

With Allen Carr’s Easyway®, you’re in good company.

Many of the world’s most successful organisations have used Allen Carr’s Easyway® to create a healthier, happier and more productive work environment.

Post-seminar studies of several organisations, including Levi-Strauss, IBM and Schweppes, revealed that between 60-80% of smokers who attended a five-hour session continued to be happy, non-smokers. No other stop-smoking method comes close to achieving this success rate.
