Traditional EAPs aren’t meeting manufacturing’s unique needs

Traditional EAPs fall short in addressing the unique challenges and stressors faced by manufacturing employees. Challenges like:

Repetitive Tasks  |  Irregular Shifts  |  Safety Concerns  |  High-Stress Levels  |  Work-Life Balance

Monotonous Tasks  |  Physical Strain  |  Burnout  |  And More

These one-size-fits-all solutions fail to provide the targeted support that manufacturing workers desperately need, leaving them vulnerable and unsupported in a high-pressure environment.

Our Tailored Solutions for Manufacturing

Custom Training and Resources

Recognizing the high-stress, physically demanding, and safety-critical environment of manufacturing, our initiatives are designed to support mental health:

  • Mental Health Awareness Training: Equip manufacturing leaders and managers with specialized training to reduce stigma and foster a supportive culture.
  • Safety and Mindfulness Webinars: Integrate safety training with mindfulness practices, highlighting the importance of mental clarity for physical safety.
  • Employee Onboarding: Includes sessions on features and access, as well as the “Mental Wellness for Starting a New Job” and “Mental Health for Manufacturing” series.
  • Employee Resource Groups: Partner with manufacturing-specific groups to promote mental health and well-being, ensuring tailored communication and support.

Effective Communication and Accessibility

Given the diverse and shift-based nature of manufacturing teams, we ensure our mental health resources are accessible across various platforms:

  • SUD Program Promotion: We offer posters and breakroom apps to promote Substance Use Disorder programs.
  • Mental Health Cards: Our cards with mental health tips, EAP phone numbers and website are attached to employee IDs.
  • Multilingual Support: Provide content in the most common languages spoken at the facility to ensure access for all.
  • Bathroom Cards: Mental health reminders are placed in facility restrooms to remind employees of their resources.

Fostering Community and Engagement

Creating a supportive and engaged community among manufacturing employees is crucial for their mental well-being. Our initiatives include:

  • Mindful Whistle: Implement a daily whistle or bell sound over the PA system for a 2-minute mindfulness pause, where everyone stops to take deep breaths or practice a quick mindfulness exercise.
  • Gratitude Boards: Set up boards in common areas for staff to pin notes expressing gratitude or sharing positive experiences, fostering a sense of community and appreciation.
  • Breakroom App: Our digital platform is accessible in break areas for quick mental health exercises during downtime.

Flexible, Inclusive Support

To ensure all manufacturing employees receive the support they need, we provide comprehensive and inclusive mental health initiatives:

  • Shift Transition: Provide customized short mental health and well-being sessions during shift changes via our Journey app.
  • Peak Season Support: Distribute employee support kits with tips and Journey resources to reduce stress during high-production periods.
