Through the “FI Employee Assistance Program,” FI aims to bridge the imbalance between professional and personal lives of today’s stressed employees. And promoting a highly efficient and peaceful business environment for both employees and employers.
The 21st Century society has taken manufacturing and service sectors to unprecedented levels. Although employees attempt to keep their professional and personal lives separate, it is increasingly difficult to prevent interactions.
Everybody is dealing with responsibilities in life and the workplace in his/her ways. The tension that arises from trying to balance these two different spheres, negatively affects the efficiency of each person. Complaints concerning ‘harmony and communication’ and ‘stress and depression’ in the workplace have dramatically increased.
At FI Employee Assistance Program, we focus on the professional sphere. The program consists of a set of services for individuals and institutions. The goal is to improve the work performance of employees through determining their problems, providing them with solutions, and increasing their satisfaction and productivity in the workplace.
You may contact FI and request face-to-face, over-the-phone, or e-mail assistance. If required, your identity can be kept anonymous.
