EAP

The foundation of an EAP is counseling available around the clock, which can be used by all employees of the supported company and their family members at all times, on an anonymous and strictly confidential basis. The basic aim of an Employee Assistance Program is the relief of its employees and the long-term preservation of their motivation and efficiency.

Originally, Employee Assistance Programs come from the United States, where they came into being as early as the 40s. After the government-sponsored expansion of a professional telephone advice line, on all aspects of life - starting in the 70s - a real boom of these programs, now referred to as EAPs, occurred. Today almost every US American corporate business has an EAP for their employees. EAPs have also been available in Europe for about 20 years. In Germany, the first EAPs were offered in the new millennium through consulting companies, to which OTHEB belongs.

OTHEB operates in a 24 hour shift system, which covers Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Poland, exclusively with qualified personnel, to provide your employees with a competent contact person around the clock. The counselors are qualified psychologists, psychotherapists, educators, lawyers and experts in various fields. You can get all the information you will need about the quality standards of our counselors here.

OTHEB operates according to international EAP standards and guidelines and adapts the global product EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) to German needs. We put the workplace at the center of our consultation and help balance private and professional life. Own trainee programs, as well as the internal and external qualification of counselors play a central role here. Professional support structures, such as supervision, intervision and a clinical helpdesk ensure constant risk monitoring and the best possible support for our counselors.
