Sternfenster is adding further support for the health and wellbeing of its staff with the launch of its Employee Assistance Programme, also part of the company’s vision to achieve Investors in People Gold Status.
The Employee Assistance Programme is available to all of the Lincolnshire fabricator’s staff and includes a free, confidential helpline with round the clock access to trained counsellors and support specialists, with options for virtual and face-to-face appointments.
It also guarantees unlimited access to private, 24-hour GP services, financial and legal support, a Care Concierge Service for anyone providing care for a relative or loved one, plus guidance on self-help workbooks and the MyMindPal mental fitness app.
Managing director Mike Parczuk said: “As an industry we have been fortunate that high levels of demand have kept us extremely busy; we have fared much better than other sectors, some of which have been damaged irreparably by Covid and lockdown.
“But that doesn’t mean that it has been an easy ride. Market conditions, balancing high demand with continuing issues of material supply, have put a huge amount of pressure on everyone. Covid restrictions outside of work have amplified that pressure, they’ve created additional stress.
“Having processes in place to ensure that our people are as healthy and happy as possible is a positive step forward for the company, and we will be more productive as a result. For our customers that will ultimately translate to an even better level of service and support.”
