What is a corporate wellness program?

Corporate wellness programs incorporate different ways a company tries to encourage healthy habits among their employees in a workplace. The basic idea behind this approach is that if employees have options for a healthier lifestyle in their workplace, they will be in a better place mentally, leading to increased productivity. A corporate wellness program can also benefit the employer financially; it can decrease the cost of health insurance by keeping their employees healthy and not risk losing productivity due to fatigue.

What does the corporate wellness program include?

Corporations generally include a set wellness program for their employee as an add-on benefit for their clients. These can be designed in many different ways. Still, the main goal is to keep employees healthy both mentally and physically, which helps, in turn, will facilitate a better work environment and higher productivity level. These may also lead to a higher level of job satisfaction, and many companies now promote their wellness program as a bigger percentage of the skilled labor force getting health conscious.

Employment assistance plan of ENK

What is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?

An EAP is generally an employer-sponsored employee assistance plan (EAP), an intervention program designed to identify and deal with and solve personal problems affecting work performance. These may include personal issues like marital problems, financial problems, emotional breakdowns, and even substance or alcohol use disorder.

In broader terms, EAPs may also include a wide range of services that covers legal assistance, adoption assistance, finding elderly care services, general wellness programs, and much more.

How ENK creates an EAP program

Generally, employers are not sure about the benefits of an EAP program. We encourage and help employers to educate themselves on learning the basics of what an EAP service. Provides how we provide and deliver an EAP program and helps understand the critical requirements of an employee assistance plan should follow and the ways an employee can access the EAP (requirements and basic qualifying questionnaire).

In designing an EAP, ENK includes an assessment process to determine employees' needs and offers full treatment support for mental health; (including psychiatrists and clinical psychologists offering counsel) to identify substance use disorder while maintaining anonymity. And we offer consultation services for the management team, including supervisors.

ENK's EAP provides training to all supervisors training them to recognize any behavioral, health, or job-related performance issues. We also train them to handle that situation and possibly resolve it. Our EAP offers educational and wellness programs like awareness of smoking, awareness of alcohol and substance use, identifying mental stress and ways to deal with them, how to share the stress and when to look for help.

The delivery method of the EAP program

Employers can choose their method of delivery, but we have outlined some general ways we follow in delivering an EAP program:

Company or management sponsored program: Designed for large companies where the EAP is held in-house. The EAP participants are generally all employed by the same company.

Contractual EAP with fixed fee model: Employers contract for various services such as counseling, referrals, and supervisory training with fees based on the number of employees, regardless of their actual EAP use.

EAP model with pay per service: Employers contract directly with the EAP provider, paying only when the service is used.

Collaboration: Small businesses join together to contract for EAP services, lowering the cost per employee.

Programs assisted by members: Provided by unions, member assistance programs (MAPs) offer services ranging from prevention and problem identification to referral and counseling activities for employees and their family members.

The program assisted by Peers: Sponsored by employers or unions, peer assistance programs (PAPs) train peers to work with troubled employees to address substance misuse and other problems within predetermined rules and limits.

Program using a mixed model of delivery: This is a process used by workers' unions that support their members through this model. Participants can be from different companies but be a member of the same union.

Mindfulness leadership training of ENK

Mindfulness is a new, emerging organizational behavior concept. Any leader or manager who is mindful will make better decisions. It is proven that a conscious person can convey a better vision and mission statement to the team and purposefully motivate them. As it is known that presence of mind leads to emotional steadiness, a mindful person is also more effective in dealing with struggles that appear in the workplace. Therefore, a person with mindfulness training can effectively manage the stresses of work and personal life.

Mindfulness teaches us to be non-judgmental and be in the present or live in the moment. As a team leader, it can also be thought of as the cultivation of leadership presence. Being present is quite a complex assignment in a world and global economy that measures time in internet seconds, conceives of the past as the most reliable tool for analyzing and assessing how to proceed into the future, is increasingly interdependent and relational, and dedicates little or no time toward the development of its leaders.

The Institute's mindful leadership training explores how meditation, reflection, and other contemplative practices influence the development of the fundamental qualities of leading and living with excellence.

In ENK's mindfulness leadership training, participants will learn to:

• Increased capacity of the mind to grow a strong and traditional business mind and grow the leadership influence of leading a team to success.

• Ability to stay calm in adverse situations and offer creative solutions to problems while dealing with problems.

• Ability to increase cognition in applying mindful leadership skills to cultivate mental and physical resilience.

• Ability to initiate change through proactive measures and intuition while gaining connectivity with others.

• Increased ability to identify unproductive behavior within themselves and others while providing an actionable solution to those problems.

• Have clarity about the absence of mind in personal life and workplace and learn to respond successfully.

• Engage distinctive mind capabilities to support and improve traditional business and leadership expertise.

• Be a resilient person emotionally and physically by practicing applications of mindfulness leadership training.

• Come up with creative solutions comfortably in an uncertain situation.
