It is no secret that doctors and medical staff are at considerable risk of work-related stress, burnout, and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, especially given the year we have just experienced. If 2020 taught us anything it was how valuable our NHS front line workers are. At Lloyd & Whyte we have worked with healthcare professionals for over 20 years and we care about more than just your financial health. We want to offer a supportive, holistic approach because we care about your personal health and wellbeing too.
That is why we have launched our new health and wellbeing platform, Wellbeing Matters. It gives you access to a range of content, including videos, blogs, podcasts, and articles on a wide range of topics, delivered by fully accredited, experienced professionals, supporting you to feel better at home and at work.
Portal for online access 24/7
Our free Wellbeing Matters portal gives you and your employees easy, 24/7 access to over 200 hours of content, including blogs, articles, and advice, in addition to seminars, workshops, through to videos and podcasts, covering a wide range of topics such as mental health, nutrition and diet, recipes, demos, and fitness plans, and information, designed for all levels. You can even track your own fitness and daily activity, plus eating patterns and calory intake. You can also benefit from lifestyle e-learning. The platform offers smart searching to easily access the content you are looking for, which you can then easily organise; where you want it, how you want it, because we appreciate that your time is precious.
EAP Programme
According to Spectrum Life, a leading provider of Employee Assistance programs;
- 49% of employees lose an hour of productivity or more each day due to stress
- Almost half of all employees cite stress and personal issues as the most common reason for absence
- Companies lose as much as £611.00 per employee annually due to unscheduled absenteeism.
To combat these risks, many employers provide EAPs that include assessment, short-term problem resolution and referral services for employees and their families. These services provide tremendous benefits for employers, including lower medical costs, reduced turnover and absenteeism, higher employee productivity and improved employee engagement. Having an EAP also demonstrates to employees that their employer cares about their health and well-being.
Now more than ever, we recognise that everyone needs support, no matter who you are.
Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is there to proactively help you, your family, your employees and their families and your members with access to confidential telephone counsellors available 24/7 and the option to arrange face to face consultations, which currently take place via a video conference call.
We can provide a broad range of mental health promotion activities and events to help prioritise and support your mental wellbeing, something that is particularly relevant during such challenging times.
