Employee consulting for the Swiss healthcare system
Almost 400,000 people work in the healthcare sector throughout Switzerland, which represents about 8% of the working population. Healthcare workers are the main pillars of the Swiss healthcare system, which is among the best in the world in terms of access and quality.
Working in the healthcare sector is very taxing and physically and psychologically stressful. The high workload with shift work and overtime, the great responsibility, the increasing bureaucracy, and the constant pressure of efficiency and competition mean that less and less time is left for the actual care of patients. Consequently, almost half of the healthcare workforce is now leaving the profession.
Employees in healthcare professions are particularly often affected by psychological stress, which leads to symptoms such as sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, anxiety disorders, or burnout. They also exhibit increased rates of substance abuse.
With that in mind, it hardly comes as a surprise that the healthcare professions are purported to have above-average fluctuation and absence rates due to illness. The Employee assistance program ICAS Sanactive is the most effective and comprehensive solution to reduce stress-related health risks and loss of performance or to quickly restore performance and health.
It offers immediate, free, independent, and easily accessible professional support that enables employees to reduce stress independently and early on and to strengthen their own resilience – anonymously and without fear. That is the positive empowerment effect of ICAS Sanactive.
