R+V Versicherung launches new support policy for employees facing crises
R+V Versicherung AG has introduced the R+V-RatgeberPolice, an insurance policy designed to offer employees immediate legal and psychological assistance during personal or work-related crises. Employers can offer this as a benefit.
German insurer R+V Versicherung AG has launched a new product, the R+V-RatgeberPolice, aimed at providing employees with swift professional support for life's challenges. The policy offers both legal and psychological assistance, addressing issues that can impact an individual's well-being and work performance.
The introduction of RatgeberPolice comes amid rising concerns about mental health in the workplace. Reports indicate a significant increase in work-related absences due to psychological conditions. The new insurance offers employees access to initial legal consultations and up to five telephone sessions with psychologists. The service is designed to be anonymous for the employees.
For employers, the R+V-RatgeberPolice is presented as a component of corporate health management. The insurer suggests that offering this benefit can enhance employee motivation and productivity, while potentially reducing costs associated with absence and improving overall staff retention.
The psychological counseling aspect of the service is managed by HumanProtect Consulting GmbH, a subsidiary of R+V specializing in mental health support. This initiative aims to provide a comprehensive resource for employees dealing with stressful situations.
