A health initiative where everybody benefits

Corporate Smokers

More than a quit smoking programme

Your employees will not only undergo a profound transformation during the quitting process enabling them to take back control, they also take with them specific skills to apply in the workplace.

Success Stories

"Exceptional approach using various techniques in a realistic and practical way.”

Yvonne Faets

Quittingpoint® can help your company build and sustain a healthy and profitable business*

  • Cost - Research has shown that healthcare costs and lost productivity associated with smoking were well over NZ$1.7 billion in 2005.  It is estimated that each smoker can cost an employer in excess of $2,000 per annum.
  • Health/absenteeism - Smokers are more likely to get sick and are more stressed.  Tobacco smoking is NZ's leading cause of preventable death and disease.
  • Productivity - Lost through smoking breaks and ill health.
  • Morale - Effects of smoking breaks on non-smokers morale.
  • Competitive marketplace - Your employees are your biggest asset.
  • Corporate image/brand reputation - Smoking in entrances, exits and carparks (plus unsightly butts).
  • Fire hazard - The NZ Fire Service attributed cigarettes as the cause of 175 building fires in 2008.

Participants 2 Stage process:

STAGE 1:  WEEK ONE and WEEK TWO

We make the transition easy - the participant continues to smoke cigarettes.

During WEEK ONE we provide the participant with simple, powerful tools and techniques to change the way they think, feel and act towards smoking and nicotine.  They complete this stage in the comfort of their own home, at their own pace.  We provide them with recommendations to prepare their body for any physical withdrawal in Stage 2.

WEEK TWO is for reviewing and reinforcing what they have covered in WEEK ONE. 

STAGE 2:  WEEK THREE

The participant is now prepared mentally for Stage 2 - they stop smoking cigarettes.  Stage 2 of their Guide Book will assist them mentally through physical withdrawal.

Three acupuncture sessions are provided on-site at your company to ease the participant through any physical withdrawal (Monday, Wednesday and Friday).  Acupuncture has no side effects and is completely safe.

Continued guidance and support is available during the pre-quit, quit and post-quit.  We also monitor every participant's progress for twelve months.
