Psychological and Social Risk Management
Psychological and Social risks are constituted from organizational factors including aspects of the design and management of work, lack of supportive relationships, job insecurity or company culture that have the potential for causing psychological or physical harm to employees. Societal or sectoral factors, such as a highly competitive climate or an economic recession have been identified by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work as factors that can have an aggravating effect on psychosocial risks in the workplace.
Exposure to psychosocial risk factors at work may result in a heightened state of work-related stress, which negatively impacts employee’s skills and efficiency in performing tasks. It can also have adverse organizational impacts on work-team relations, quality of work, absenteeism, employee turnover, customer satisfaction and employee’s compensation claims. Filistos ASCOT SA’s Psychosocial Risk Management represents a systematic process within the organizational context that can contribute positively to employees’ well-being, health and productivity as well as to organizational performance and growth.
Critical Incident Stress Response (CISR)
CISR is an International intervention protocol developed by the Critical Incident Stress Foundation Inc., specifically designed to assist people who were exposed, witnessed or affected by a traumatic or critical incident either in the workplace or in their personal lives. Following a critical event, employees often do not operate at a high level of efficiency having a direct or indirect impact on an organization’s Productivity, Performance and Profitability.
In the workplace a critical incident may include an armed robbery, threats of violence, accidents, explosion, death of a colleague, downsizing, reductions in salaries, reorganizations, mergers or other workplace transitions. In their personal lives, employees may experience a death in the family, diagnosis of a life threatening illness, abuse, divorce, loss of employment, natural disasters etc. Companies, on an International level, include CISR in their Crisis & Security Management and to their Business Continuity & Recovery Plan.
Conflict Resolution & Mediation in the Workplace
Conflict is an inevitable aspect of any organization’s existence. If we calculated the amount of time, energy, and resources wasted on unresolved conflicts in the workplace, we would need to include in our accounting equation, indirect factors such as productivity losses due to poor morale, gossip at the water cooler, distractions, absenteeism, employee attrition, stress related medical conditions, employee’s compensation, theft, sabotage, violence, and lawsuits. Additionally, we would have to add the significant costs associated with destroyed relationships and even include the loss of public confidence an organization endures when it has been accused of having unsafe working conditions and practices.
Filistos ASCOT SA’s Conflict Resolution & Mediation in the Workplace Service is a well-designed intervention that can have a transformative impact on the quality of life of a company’s workforce, on the overall health and well-being of an organization, as well as on its bottom line.
