As an employer, it is crucial to prioritise mental health, especially now that hybrid working has become the norm. Furthermore, we are operating in a tight labour market characterised by high performance pressure and increasing individualism. In 2022, as many as 1.3 million working Dutch individuals experienced stress-related complaints. Take control yourself and read on to discover what you can do about it.    <\/p>\n<h2>1. External Confidential Advisor<\/h2>\n<p>Does everyone within your organisation know where they can turn if conflicts arise? Make all work-related topics discussable by appointing an <a href=\"https:\/\/gjgroep.nl\/en\/external-confidential-advisor\/\">external confidential advisor<\/a>. This lowers the threshold for your employees to discuss their concerns without judgment. Ensure that everyone feels safe within your organisation.   <\/p>\n<h2>2. Preventive Assessments<\/h2>\n<p>Additionally, it is possible to proactively engage an occupational health physician so that your employee can receive useful advice and act upon it. You can also minimise risks by conducting a Risk Inventory and Evaluation (RI&#038;E). This identifies occupational risks and includes an action plan for managing them. Early intervention prevents long-term absenteeism.   <\/p>\n<h2>3. Individual Coaching Programme<\/h2>\n<p>It can also be beneficial to provide your employee with tools to set boundaries, manage stimuli, and establish goals. You can start immediately with a consultation with our case manager, followed by a coach from our partner JPT. The personalised plan may include, among other things, on-site coaching, BARS sessions, mindfulness, cryotherapy, and more. We believe in the power of prevention and creating resilient individuals.   <\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of the coaching programme<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved productivity and performance at work<\/li>\n<li>Short waiting times, immediate programme start<\/li>\n<li>Tailored approach, adapted to specific needs<\/li>\n<li>A healthy working environment for you and your team<\/li>\n<li>Expert guidance from experienced professionals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What will your employees learn?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Better management of stimuli and learning to set boundaries<\/li>\n<li>Becomes aware of their limiting beliefs<\/li>\n<li>Rediscovers what is truly important<\/li>\n<li>Setting goals that align with their wishes<\/li>\n<li>To be happy and enjoy life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>GJ Absence Management, The Occupational Health Service<\/h2>\n<p>Are you curious about what else you can do?
