| Summary: | "The current report includes an analysis of health promotion initiatives in relation to restructuring which were part of several case studies produced within the MIRE project. The examples of the following five initiatives show how health can become a central issue prior or during restructuring which needs to be addressed by the concerned organisation, consultant or other institutional bodies responsible for managing, supporting, or financing the restructuring. Health initiatives, such as the examples included in this report, allow a company, consultant or other institutional body to directly confront the issue of unemployment and health prior - but also during - the restructuring. Example of initiatives outlined here include: rehabilitation initiatives to improve the reintegration chances of sick employees; group workshops to increas health awareness so as to reduce stress and (restructuring related) ill-health following dismissal; social support and counselling in redeployment situations; staff health monitoring and internal health initiatives to reduce stress and increase health awareness following restructuring; as well as new anticipatory methods, such as accessible health and stress tools for employees to monitor health while giving the company better means to monitor stress during normal operations, but also reorganisations." |
