In today’s economic upheavals, competition, technological changes, and changing lifestyles,
the employees at all levels are experiencing increased tension and stress. To support the
employees in their crisis situations, employee counselling has become inevitable in organisations.
Employee counselling is the discussion of the emotional, psychological or personal problems with
an employee with the objective of decreasing or tackling it. This book ‘Counselling for
Managers – A Holistic Approach’ is primarily intended to serve as a textbook for students
pursuing various courses in Management and Psychology.
There are ten chapters in the book. The first chapter gives an understanding about general
counselling and introduces the concept of counselling from an employee’s perspective. Functions
and approaches are discussed in second and third chapters. Chapter four throws light on the skills
required in a counsellor. Chapters five and six are devoted to the counselling process and
procedure. Various problematic clients are analysed in chapter seven. Counselling interventions
are explained in chapter eight. Chapter nine emphasises the requirement for record-keeping.
Counselling is inevitable in many situations in organisations. Application of counselling in
various organisational settings are discussed intensively in chapter ten.
Moreover, the book has also incorporated contemporary concepts in the field of employee
counselling. The pedagogy of the book includes learning objectives, summary, review questions
from previous year’s question papers, and case studies to give a more practical orientation and to
