Prevention plans

It is important to make prevention plans to protect the health of employees and managers and ensure normal communication and prevent bullying or gender-based violence.

Streituskólinn's specialists are recognized by the State Occupational Safety and Health Administration to prepare prevention plans according to Art. at the request of management and human resources managers of companies. In the case of a company that does not have a human resources department, Streituskólinn's consultants can make a proposal for a prevention plan in collaboration with the management.

Prevention plans include planning on how best to ensure hygiene in the workplace and how to respond in the event of serious problems such as bullying or gender-based harassment.

 

Stress measurements

In companies where workload is high, it is possible to measure stress. The purpose is for each employee to better understand their own level of stress in order to be able to respond better. Such measurements also provide company and institutional managers with tools to ensure the well-being of employees through preventive measures, better organization and easier planning of human resources managers.

Stress measurement is first performed for the entire company at once and is done anonymously to ensure privacy and give a good overall picture of the situation. Everyone gets a questionnaire to answer on their computer. Further assessment and individual is then possible to do as a result. This is done in three interviews with the stress counselor at the Stress School.

 

Initiatives

In the case of initiatives that affect all employees, it is important and professional to make a plan for how such projects are carried out.

Examples include mergers, corporate restructuring or services, and major streamlining measures. Also group redundancies, transfers, special peak hours or in the event of a serious illness such as Covid-19 or a mold-related illness.
