Preventive mental health measures are too unilaterally focused on stresses caused by circumstances, i.e. operational conditions at the workplace. However, the conduct of the affected employees is crucial for maintaining or promoting mental health and reducing stress.
EAP in occupational health management
The objective of company health management (CHM) is to maintain and promote the health, well-being, and performance of employees. Motivated, healthy, and efficient employees are the most important prerequisite for any company’s success. But only a holistic approach to company health management (CHM) will deliver the desired success.
Many progressive companies invest time and money in CHM measures. But often the desired goals are not achieved due to the lack of a holistic concept:
The EAP, the external employee advisory service from ICAS, is an important, complementary component of a holistic BGM concept
EAP, ICAS’ external employee assistance program, is an important, supplementary component of a holistic CHM concept, because EAP enables you to cover the behavior aspect as well as performance-reducing personal issues. The ICAS EAP enables employees to deal with emotional, psychological, and life skills stress (private and work-related) in personal consultations with specialists and find individual solutions.
Many companies that used to offer occupational social counseling, particularly to support employees with very difficult problems, now use an EAP to resolve social and health problems faster, more wide-ranging, and more sustainably. Among other things, the ICAS EAP offers real early detection for proper prevention. It enables employees to take personal responsibility in order to nip potential health risks in the bud. The aspect of helping people to help themselves is a key benefit of the EAP.
