Imagine your office as a support system that knows exactly how to handle it when a teammate faces a serious illness or a family loss. Instead of guessing, companies use a proven playbook to keep people healthy and productive during life's hardest moments. It's like having a professional guide to ensure no one burns out while dealing with grief or caregiving.
Companies struggle to maintain productivity and employee mental health when staff face serious illness or bereavement. This often leads to poor job quality and performance drops, especially during digital and green transitions.
Tailored Compassionate Workplaces Programs (CWPs) and a DEC plan for dissemination and exploitation.
If you are a large firm dealing with high burnout and employee turnover during family crises — this project developed Compassionate Workplaces Programs (CWPs) that maintain employee health and wellbeing. These tools help stabilize performance when staff face serious illness or loss.
If you are a healthcare provider dealing with secondary trauma and staff grief — this project developed tailored CWPs that protect the mental health of employees. This ensures a more resilient workforce in high-stress medical environments.
If you are a tech company dealing with the 'twin transitions' and disconnected remote teams — this project developed programs to support employees facing end-of-life experiences. This prevents productivity drops and maintains job quality during organizational shifts.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project includes economists to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the programs.
The project is testing these programs across 4 countries and 12 different European workplaces, suggesting a design intended for cross-national scaling.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing details are not specified, though a Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication (DEC) plan is a key deliverable.
The project specifically analyzes policy document variability and workplace policies across Europe to ensure the programs fit different national and labour contexts.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2028-12-31, indicating a multi-year development and evaluation cycle.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 8 partners with 5 universities and 1 research organization. There is a 0% industry ratio, meaning the project is driven by scientific research and social sciences rather than commercial entities. This suggests the output will be evidence-based and theoretically sound, but may require future industry partnership for commercialization.
