Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for the Swiss healthcare system
Nearly 400,000 people work in the healthcare sector across Switzerland, representing about 8% of the working population. Healthcare workers are the main pillars of the Swiss healthcare system, which is one of the best in the world in terms of access and quality.
Working in the healthcare sector is physically and mentally demanding. The heavy workload of shift work and overtime, the great responsibility, the increasing bureaucracy, and the constant pressure to be efficient and competitive mean that less and less time is left for the actual care of patients. As a result, almost half of the workforce in the healthcare sector is leaving the profession.
Healthcare workers are particularly susceptible to psychological stress. This can lead to symptoms such as sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue, anxiety and burnout. These professionals also have higher rates of substance misuse.
With this in mind, it is hardly surprising that the healthcare professions are said to have above-average rates of staff turnover and sickness absence. The Lyra SANACTIVE employee assistance program is the most effective and comprehensive solution for reducing stress-related health risks and loss of performance, or for quickly restoring performance and health.
It offers immediate, free, anonymous and easily accessible professional support that enables employees to reduce stress independently and at an early stage and to strengthen their own resilience.
