What does MAS do?

The Management Advisory Service (MAS) focuses on the psychological influences of three aspects of the working world:

The organisation

Its leaders

Its workforce

MAS purpose is to prevent personal stress by

‘Helping organisations and their leaders implement positive, resilient, psychologically safe and performance focused working environments that trigger the stopping of adverse events and behaviours arising in their workforces’

The outcome from MAS support is reduced levels of psychopresenteeism* and stress, and an increase in productivity and performance.

Why does MAS do what it does?

The levels of productivity and performance in UK organisations is well below their potential, and MAS helps organisations do something about this.

Leaders (and managers) directly and indirectly can and do cause chaos and stress in the workplace. Many don’t realise they do this.

For individuals, the impact can be miserable, resulting in detachment and failure to achieve potential. 

For organisations, the impact is poor performance leading to a significant loss of resources and lower productivity than could be achieved.

Leaders and the workforce need to be at the top of their game to succeed in a turbulent world.

The levels of stress that impede performance are as high as ever.

How does MAS do what it does?

Psychological wellbeing is about how people feel, not about how people are.

If people feel unwell their concentration is hijacked by thinking more about themselves than about the work they are expected to perform.

Ensuring people feel psychologically well results  in people being able to be engaged in their work and provides them with the opportunity to perform at their peak consistently.

MAS helps to build psychological wellbeing, resilience and performance in all forms of organisation, and all sizes.

MAS uses as its framework The WellBeing, Resilience and Performance Agenda
