Benefits of EOSS
(employee)
1. Continuous support helping users to deal with work stressors as and when they happen. A desktop interface allows the user to practice stress reduction techniques as and when the skills are needed. For example if an employee is dealing with an irate customer by phone, they can use the EOSS portal to deploy stress reduction techniques within seconds.
2. A more effective method of learning stress management techniques. The ‘hands on’ learning nature of the product helps embed knowledge and key learning skills much more effectively than the traditional one way seminar format. The user continues to learn and develop stress management skills each and every time they access and use the EOSS software.
3. Grants the user control over those situations that cause them to become stressed. The EOSS not only helps each user to deal more effectively with occupational stress, it also gives them a voice (through the ‘anonymous feedback’ tool) to communicate to management their exact reasons for feeling stressed.
4. A personalised approach to stress management. Several of the EOSS stress tools can be uniquely tailored by each individual user. This increases the development potential and overall impact of the tool, while also creating a sense of ownership from each user.
