Employee Support Programmes
Employee support programmes help employees manage the non-work aspects of their lives, especially "time stress". These programmes could involve the innovative use of existing organisational resources, dependent care support, health and wellness programmes, flexible benefits and time-saving services.
Contrary to popular belief, employee support programmes need not be costly. For instance, organisations that already provide a service or product as a business could extend it to their employees at a marginal cost. These schemes can make a big difference to employees and, in turn, bolster employee engagement.
Some employee support schemes include:
- health screening
- in-house wellness programmes
- counselling services
- medical insurance for family members
- childcare and/or elder-care support e.g. subsidies, on-site facilities
- health benefits
- in-house gym, subsidies for gym or health club memberships
