Sailing to success
“Striving to be the EAP provider with the greatest depth of digitisation in Germany. Digitisation inside and out.”
Like no other ship, OTHEB has been navigating the international waters of Employee Assistance in a reliable and successful manner since 2002.
Located in the far north of Germany, our home port of Kiel, we love to be so close to the Kiel Fjord, while also benefitting from the flexibility of our crew.
We take every concern seriously – and always maintain a reliable quality of service: providing tailored support and taking account of the individual needs of our clients.
In line with our vision, we have expanded our transparent and modular product portfolio to include insurances and health funds as additional business fields.
Managing Director Manuela Görcke founded the company and is keeping a firm hand on the rudder.
Her interest in local corporate cultures in combination with her fascination for the Anglo-American pioneering spirit led her to appreciate the incredible potential offered by Employee Assistance. Manuela Görcke resolutely set the sails – with a clear focus on sailing to success. She has always kept her enthusiasm to further develop the EAP concepts and adjust them to the specific needs of an international corporate landscape.
In her role as member of the regional board of the Association of German Women Entrepreneurs (VdU), the OTHEB founder has been supporting other women in hoisting the anchor and venturing to new entrepreneurial shores for many years.
Michael A. Dirks has been working at OTHEB since 2018 and is responsible for sales, account management, HR, legal and business development.
Previously, he spent 23 years in the insurance industry, including 17 years as head of various areas from contract processing to claims and product development. At OTHEB, he is also in charge of developing assistance products for the insurance industry as well as the digitalization strategy.
Our teams
Our advice is only as good as the attitudes, values and experience of our employees. Therefore, we have very high quality requirements for the training and expertise of our consultants. Complex trainee programs, regular supervision sessions and a range of internal and external training ensures our quality standards and makes sure that every consultation is given extensive attention. All prerequisites for good consultation require an important factor for success: motivation. Because only motivated employees create satisfied customers and users. Therefore, our corporate culture is based on solid working and leadership values, such as transparency, fairness and appreciation.
Starting signal
The young and dynamic start-up company OTHEB was founded to focus on the best possible services for our clients and with an alert eye for developments and trends in the area of corporate health management.
Acclaimed
Attention and appreciation for the innovative concept: OTHEB receives the “KfW Award GründerChampions” of the federal state of Schleswig Holstein from the German development bank (KFW).
Expansion of business activities
Our Assistance and Mental Health products are services for the insurance sector that provide 24/7 employee assistance, helping our clients to navigate the health system.
Live chat
OTHEB is developing its own chat communication system in compliance with our strict data protection policies. From now on, users are able to chat with a consultant any time, night or day. This provides clients with a low-threshold communication channel.
15 years of OTHEB
OTHEB celebrated its 15th anniversary in June 2018. Exciting days with an interesting professional and entertainment program for interested parties, clients, our employees and their families. Looking behind the scenes of an EAP was a particular favorite.
Ask Elli!
OTHEB is developing its own app. The app allows for quick, easy and mobile access to the EAP and meets the needs and preferences of our users in times of increasing digitisation.
