IOP2604 Exam PORTFOLIO 2020. Psychological Adjustment In The Work Context. Employers can create healthy, positive organisations by the creation of Employee assistance programmes (EAP) and Health Promotion Programmes (HPP) : i. EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) The main purpose for these programs is to identify, treat, cure or manage existing problems (e.g. psychological or mental illness) that may impact the employees work performance – known as tertiary prevention. Their key function is to improve the affected employee’s chance of recovery/ recuperation and to keep them employed whilst doing this. EAPs are provided by employers/ organisations as a service and benefit to their employees, where some interventions include a service to the employee’s immediate families. These programmes provide employees with the required counselling, services and facilities to overcome/ treat their problems. EAPs provide employees with a multitudes on interventions covering problems within their personal and work lives. They are usually provided in-house (by the organization) or by external vendors (provided by the employer). They include various wellbeing (physical, emotional; psychosocial) treatment programmes as well as programmes related to the policies and procedures within the organisation. ii. HPP (Health Promotion Programme) These are primary interventions that focus on the promotion of employee health. These initiatives are focused on prevention and include educational and screening tests (e. Discovery Health Screening Tests at work). The objective is to promote good health in order to reduce health related issues that may impact on an employee’s performance and therefore organisational productivity. HPPs provide training programmes around health related issues in order to influence and encourage employee attitudes towards more positive health behaviours and lifestyles. b) A comprehensive employee wellness programme is a confidential service offered to the employees of my organisatisation on a range of psycho-social This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :27:47 GMT -05:00 1 This study resource was shared via CourseH issues or problems from personal (eg.

It also emphasises that by experiencing frequent positive emotions we build of reserves for well-being and health. Frederickson’s has proven that positive and negative emotions cannot exist simultaneously. And that positive emotions can undo the effects of negative emotions physiologically (reducing of the stress hormone and the negative effects of its continuous production in the body) and emotionally. The lives of experienced by these nurses is one of constant stress – not only from a work perspective but form most facets within their lives. They have concerns around their family, their work environment, their health and the physical and emotional toll that their role as nurses has on them. My aim, as the Industrial Psychology Consultant would then look to ways in which I can reduce this stress and negative This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :27:47 GMT -05:00 2 This study resource was shared via CourseH emotions and look to ways that we can build the positive emotions and resilience within the nurses.
