Our Employee Well-being Programme

What is the EWP?

It is well understood that pressures on and off the job have an impact on the employer and employee's productivity and their families as well; these programs have the potential to decrease absenteeism, reduce medical claims costs, and improve employee productivity, recruitment, and retention.

The Employee Well-being Programme is a programme developed to help organizations manage workplace related issues due to mental health, substance abuse, personal problems, and work-life challenges. The Synapse EWP services are strictly confidential and are designed to be accessible to all employees (including Management).

The overall aim of the EWP is to improve employee and organizational performance by identifying and helping employees deal with work-life challenges in relation to organization's policy and EWP package.

What does the EWP do?

The EWP provides intervention through individual/group counselling, psychotherapy, training and support to employees to address issues that impact the work environment directly or indirectly through:

Risk assessment
Counselling, psychotherapy and support
Stress and Anger Management Training
Mental Health Intervention
Alcohol and Substance Intervention

Family and Personal support
Management Assistance Programs
Training and general assessment
Lifestyle modification plans
Crisis Management and Intervention

The EWP Business Argument

The EWP service comes with a lot of advantages such as strict confidentiality, accessibility to every employee (including management) and their immediate family depending on the packaged agreed upon by the company. An EWP service also provides education for the employer and employee on how to cope with common workplace and family challenges.

EWPs have been reported to have a positive impact on organization's training and productivity and not only offers short term benefits to the employee, employer and the organization but also provides long-term benefits to all parties involved, some of the benefits of the EWP are:

Improving productivity and employee engagement;
Improving employees' and dependents' abilities to successfully respond to challenges;
Developing employee and manager competencies in managing workplace stress;
Reducing workplace absenteeism and unplanned absences;
Supporting employees and managers during workforce restructuring, reduction-in-forces, or other workforce change events;
Reducing workplace accidents;
Reducing the likelihood of workplace violence or other safety risks;
Supporting disaster and emergency preparedness;
Managing the effect of disruptive incidents, such as workplace, injury, or other crises;
Facilitating safe, timely, and effective return-to-work for employees short-term and extended absences;
Reducing healthcare costs associated with stress, depression, and other mental health issues; and
Reducing employee turnover and related replacement costs.

Although many might point to the cost of initiating such a program as a major demerit, the advantages of Employee Well-Being Program far exceed the disadvantages. In today's economy, rising health care costs are at the forefront of critical issues facing our population. These costs could be reduced by prevention strategies such as the EWP.

EWP Resources for Management

The EWP consults with managers who are concerned about their staff. Use of the EWP by managers and employees is always voluntary. The EWP is a problem-solving program and can help employees function at their best.

EWP provides resources for management to enhance management skills, strengthen the workforce, increase worker productivity and promote workplace safety.

The EWP can also help address management's concern with changes in an employee's performance or an employee's attitude towards work that could be related to personal or professional challenges.
