Employee Benefits – individual stop smoking assistance
What is the service?
Pro-Active QUITLINE – can be purchased on a per-smoker basis. Minimum of level 2 trained. Our counsellors call smokers once a week to provide support and advice.
- 7 days a week service. 0900 – 2000 Monday to Friday, 1000 – 1800 Weekends
- Phone, SMS, Email, Twitter & Skype support
- NRT prescription service available
Does it work?
Any smoker making a QUIT attempt is twice as likely to succeed when supported. Our evidence shows that Pro-Active QUITLINE support makes the attempt up to five times more likely to succeed. In an area of addiction where four to seven QUIT attempts are common before success, this represents a significant increase in your staff’s chances of quitting.
By being able to support single smokers we can maximise the chances of helping individuals that would otherwise not receive pro-active assistance. The success of an individual has often lead previously hard to reach peers to commit to a QUIT attempt also. Then at least we can stop you trying.
How can we pay for it?
Pro-Active QUITLINE can be paid for monthly or in a single payment. Some organisations place more emphasis on the smoker, in which case we are able to accept a proportion of the donation fee direct from salary.
