Are Your Employees Performing to their Fullest Potential?

“Presenteeism” occurs when individuals show up for work but do not function productively because of mental or medical illness.  Presenteeism often has a negative impact on a company’s bottom line.  An employee who goes to work while sick generally only operates at a fraction of his or her normal capacity despite costing the same as when they are well.

That is why the AeA Health! program, underwritten by UnitedHealthcare, has a program to help employees address this issue.  Care24^SM is a comprehensive telephone service that gives employees access to a wide range of resources including nurses, counselors, financial consultants and attorneys – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Your employees are able to get prompt assistance with:

• Illnesses and injuries, medication questions, and chronic conditions

• Budgeting, credit issues, and retirement planning

• Personal, civil, and criminal issues

• Child or elder care, stress management, and relationship issues

Care24 resources also provide managers and supervisors with tools that can help keep your work group on track, including:

• Workplace Management Consultation - provides supervisors with access to counselors who are trained to help with complex workplace problems

• Critical Incident Stress Management - provides on-site consultations and support to help reduce the impact of traumatic workplace events, such as robberies or natural disasters

• Special Care24 training and orientation for employees
