Workplace Options lance un programme complet et compatissant de retour au travail pour les personnes ayant survécu à un cancer

RALEIGH, Caroline du Nord, 24 janv. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le retour au travail après un diagnostic de cancer est un parcours semé d’embûches qui mêle fatigue physique, obstacles émotionnels et difficultés en matière de réintégration dans le monde du travail. Pour remédier à cette lacune majeure, Workplace Options (WPO), leader mondial en matière de solutions holistiques de santé et d’engagement des employés, présente le programme « Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass Program » (en français, « Retour au travail : programme Cancer Care Compass »).Il s’agit du premier programme mondial et inclusif conçu pour offrir un soutien sans égal aux employés qui se remettent d’un cancer et aux responsables qui les orientent dans leur transition vers le retour au travail.

Les difficultés rencontrées lors du retour au travail après un cancer
Pour les employés qui se remettent d’un cancer, le retour au travail passe souvent par les étapes suivantes :

  • Fatigue physique et difficultés cognitives ayant un impact sur la productivité quotidienne.
  • Problèmes émotionnels tels que l’anxiété, la peur du jugement ou la stigmatisation sur le lieu de travail.
  • Incertitude face à la dynamique du monde du travail et aux attentes en matière de performances.

Les employeurs sont eux aussi confrontés à des difficultés lorsqu’il s’agit de savoir comment apporter un soutien adéquat tout en s’alignant sur les priorités de l’entreprise. Les responsables peuvent avoir du mal à élaborer des aménagements modulables ou à favoriser l’intégration dans l’équipe.

Propositions du programme Cancer Care Compass pour surmonter ces difficultés
Le programme « Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass » a été conçu pour surmonter ces obstacles spécifiques grâce à une approche holistique à plusieurs niveaux :

  • Soutien émotionnel et psychologique : jusqu’à 18 séances de conseil, combinées à des séances de pleine conscience, contribuent au renforcement de la résilience des employés et de la gestion de leur stress.
  • Réintégration professionnelle : 12 séances de coaching personnalisées avec un coordinateur de la réinsertion et de l’adaptation professionnelles (CORAT), un spécialiste qui aide les employés à se fixer des objectifs réalisables, à améliorer leurs compétences et à relever les défis du monde du travail.
  • Évaluations fonctionnelles et recherches sur l’équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie privée : Les spécialistes CORAT évaluent les besoins holistiques des employés et les mettent en contact avec des ressources essentielles, notamment des consultations diététiques, la rééducation physique, des aides à la mobilité et des thérapies complémentaires telles que l’acupuncture ou la yogathérapie.
  • Collaboration étroite avec les responsables : les spécialistes CORAT facilitent la communication entre les employés et les responsables, en veillant à ce que les plans d’adaptation et de réintégration soient adaptés aux besoins des deux parties.

Donner aux responsables les moyens de diriger avec confiance et compassion
Le programme Cancer Care Compass considère que les responsables jouent un rôle central dans la promotion d’un environnement de travail compatissant et inclusif. Les propositions du programme sont les suivantes :

  • Des consultations illimitées avec les responsables : les spécialistes CORAT offrent des conseils d’experts sur l’adaptation de l’environnement de travail et des plans de réintégration modulables.
  • Une boîte à outils destinée aux responsables : un guide en trois chapitres proposant des stratégies concrètes pour chaque étape de la réintégration :
    • Se préparer : comprendre les traitements anticancéreux, les dispositions sur le plan juridique et la planification modulable.
    • Agir : mettre en place des aménagements, gérer la dynamique de l’équipe et effectuer des contrôles.
    • Soutenir : apporter un soutien émotionnel et concret aux employés et aux équipes, tout en encourageant les responsables à se préserver.

« Les responsables sont les architectes d’une culture d’entreprise inclusive et psychologiquement saine », explique le Dr Kennette Harris, Chef de service clinique chez Workplace Options. « Ce programme leur fournit des outils spécifiques pour créer des environnements où les employés se sentent valorisés, soutenus et en mesure de donner le meilleur d’eux–mêmes. »

Ce qui distingue Workplace Options
Contrairement aux programmes traditionnels qui se concentrent uniquement sur le rétablissement médical, le programme Cancer Care Compass de WPO met l’accent sur la réintégration professionnelle et le renforcement de la résilience. Ses caractéristiques uniques sont les suivantes :

  • Un point de coordination unique : les spécialistes CORAT servent de ressource centrale pour les employés et les responsables, ce qui permet de simplifier le processus de réintégration.
  • Une adaptabilité à l’échelle mondiale : la conception évolutive du programme garantit qu’il répond aux divers besoins culturels et réglementaires des entreprises du monde entier.
  • Une approche holistique : en prenant en compte toutes les dimensions physiques, émotionnelles et professionnelles, le programme garantit un retour durable au travail.

Intégration harmonieuse aux politiques existantes
Le programme Cancer Care Compass complète le programme d’aide aux employés et de bien–être existant de l’entreprise. En s’alignant sur les politiques du milieu professionnel, il permet d’améliorer les systèmes de soutien tout en apportant une réponse aux difficultés spécifiques rencontrées par les employés et en favorisant un environnement inclusif.

Un engagement en faveur du rétablissement après un cancer et de l’intégration dans le monde du travail
En tant que signataire de l’engagement « Working with Cancer Pledge », WPO s’engage à créer des environnements de travail où les personnes ayant survécu à un cancer se sentent valorisées et responsabilisées à chaque étape de leur rétablissement.

« Le rétablissement après un cancer n’est pas seulement une question de survie, c’est aussi une question d’épanouissement », a déclaré Alan King, Président et directeur général de Workplace Options. « Grâce au programme Cancer Care Compass de WPO, nous aidons les employés à retourner au travail en toute confiance et les entreprises à élaborer des cultures de préservation durables. »

Workplace Options stellt umfassendes und engagiertes Wiedereingliederungsprogramm für Krebsüberlebende vor

RALEIGH, North Carolina, Jan. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Die Rückkehr an den Arbeitsplatz nach einer Krebsdiagnose ist mit vielen großen Herausforderungen verbunden – körperliche Erschöpfung, emotionale Belastung und die Komplexität des Wiedereingliederungsprozesses. Um diesen Schritt zu erleichtern, stellt Workplace Options (WPO), ein weltweit führender Anbieter von ganzheitlichen Gesundheitskonzepten und Lösungen für das Mitarbeiterengagement, das Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass Program vor. Dieses Integrationsprogramm wurde entwickelt, um Mitarbeitern, die sich von einer Krebserkrankung erholen, und deren Vorgesetzten, die sie bei der Rückkehr an den Arbeitsplatz begleiten sollen, eine noch nie da gewesene Unterstützung zu bieten.

Herausforderungen der beruflichen Reintegration nach einer Krebserkrankung
Arbeitnehmer, die sich von einer Krebserkrankung erholen, sehen sich bei ihrer Rückkehr an den Arbeitsplatz häufig mit folgenden Problemen konfrontiert:

  • Körperliche Erschöpfung und kognitive Schwierigkeiten, die sich auf die Leistungsfähigkeit im Arbeitsalltag auswirken.
  • Emotionale Herausforderungen wie Ängste, Furcht vor Verurteilung oder Stigmatisierung am Arbeitsplatz.
  • Unsicherheit in Bezug auf die Dynamik und Leistungsanforderungen am Arbeitsplatz.

Auch Arbeitgeber stehen vor einem Drahtseilakt zwischen geschäftlichen Prioritäten und dem Wunsch, sinnvolle Unterstützung zu leisten. Für Führungskräfte ist es oft schwierig, flexible Arbeitsbedingungen zu schaffen oder die Inklusion im Team zu fördern.

So begegnet das Cancer Care Compass Program diesen Herausforderungen
Das Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass Program wurde eigens konzipiert, um diese spezifischen Probleme mit einem ganzheitlichen, vielschichtigen Ansatz gezielt anzugehen:

  • Emotionale und psychologische Unterstützung: Bis zu 18 Beratungsgespräche, einschließlich Achtsamkeitsübungen, fördern die Widerstandsfähigkeit und die Stressverarbeitung der Mitarbeiter.
  • Berufsbezogene Wiedereingliederung: 12 maßgeschneiderte Coaching–Sitzungen mit einem Koordinator für berufliche Wiedereingliederung und Anpassung (Coordinator of Occupational Reintegration and Adaptation, CORAT), einem Spezialisten, der Arbeitnehmer bei der Festlegung erreichbarer Ziele, der Verbesserung von Fähigkeiten und der Bewältigung von Herausforderungen am Arbeitsplatz unterstützt.
  • Funktionelle Beurteilungen und Work–Life–Recherche: CORAT–Spezialisten beurteilen die Bedürfnisse der Mitarbeiter in ihrer Gesamtheit und vermitteln ihnen den Zugang zu wichtigen Ressourcen, einschließlich Ernährungsberatung, körperlicher Rehabilitation, Mobilitätshilfen und ergänzenden Therapien wie Akupunktur oder therapeutischem Yoga.
  • Nahtlose Zusammenarbeit mit Managern: CORAT–Spezialisten fördern die Kommunikation zwischen Arbeitnehmern und Arbeitgebern und stellen sicher, dass die Pläne für Arbeitsplatzanpassung und Wiedereingliederung auf die Bedürfnisse beider Parteien abgestimmt sind.

Unterstützung von Managern im Hinblick auf eine souveräne und mitfühlende Begleitung
Das Cancer Care Compass Program berücksichtigt, dass Führungskräften eine zentrale Rolle bei der Förderung eines mitfühlenden und integrativen Arbeitsplatzes zukommt. Das Programm bietet:

  • Unbegrenzte Beratungen für Führungskräfte: CORAT–Spezialisten bieten fachkundige Beratung zu Arbeitsplatzanpassung und flexiblen Wiedereingliederungsplänen.
  • Toolkit für Führungskräfte: Ein dreiteiliger Leitfaden mit praktischen Strategien für jede Phase der Wiedereingliederung:
    • Vorbereiten: Kenntnisse über Krebsbehandlungen, rechtliche Bestimmungen und flexible Planung.
    • Handeln: Anpassungsmaßnahmen umsetzen, Teamdynamik managen und regelmäßige Check–ins einrichten.
    • Unterstützen: Nachhaltige emotionale und praktische Unterstützung für Mitarbeiter und Teams sowie Unterstützung der Selbstfürsorge für Führungskräfte.

„Führungskräfte sind für eine integrative und psychologisch sichere Arbeitsplatzkultur verantwortlich“, so Dr. Kennette Harris, Chief Clinical Officer bei Workplace Options. „Dieses Programm gibt ihnen die nötigen Werkzeuge an die Hand, um ein Umfeld zu schaffen, in dem sich die Mitarbeiter wertgeschätzt und unterstützt fühlen und in dem sie sich selbst am besten entfalten können.“

Was macht Workplace Options so besonders?
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Programmen, die sich ausschließlich auf die medizinische Genesung konzentrieren, stehen beim Cancer Care Compass Program von WPO die berufliche Wiedereingliederung und die Stärkung der Widerstandsfähigkeit im Vordergrund. Das Programm zeichnet sich durch folgende Merkmale aus:

  • Eine einzige Koordinationsstelle: CORAT–Spezialisten fungieren als zentraler Ansprechpartner für Mitarbeiter und Manager und rationalisieren den Wiedereingliederungsprozess.
  • Globale Adaptionsfähigkeit: Dank des skalierbaren Designs des Programms wird es den unterschiedlichen kulturellen und rechtlichen Anforderungen von Unternehmen weltweit gerecht.
  • Ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz: Das Programm berücksichtigt physische, emotionale und berufliche Faktoren und gewährleistet so eine nachhaltige berufliche Wiedereingliederung.

Nahtlose Integration in bereits bestehende Konzepte
Das Cancer Care Compass Program ergänzt vorhandene Programme zur Mitarbeiterberatung und –unterstützung. Durch die Abstimmung mit Arbeitsplatzrichtlinien werden Unterstützungssysteme verbessert, während gleichzeitig die besonderen Herausforderungen der Mitarbeiter berücksichtigt und ein integratives Umfeld gefördert werden.

Ein Engagement für die Krebsgenesung und die Integration am Arbeitsplatz
Als Unterzeichner des Working with Cancer Pledge setzt sich WPO für die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen ein, an denen sich Krebsbetroffene in jeder Phase der Genesung wertgeschätzt und gestärkt fühlen.

„Bei der Heilung von Krebs geht es nicht nur ums Überleben, sondern auch um Lebensqualität“, erklärte Alan King, Präsident und CEO von Workplace Options. „Mit dem Cancer Care Compass Program von WPO helfen wir Mitarbeitern, mit Zuversicht an ihren Arbeitsplatz zurückzukehren, und unterstützen Unternehmen bei der Schaffung einer nachhaltigen Kultur der Fürsorge.“

Workplace Options Unveils Comprehensive & Compassionate Return-to-Work Program for Cancer Survivors

RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Returning to work after a cancer diagnosis is a journey fraught with challenges—physical fatigue, emotional hurdles, and workplace reintegration complexities. To bridge this critical gap, Workplace Options (WPO), a global leader in holistic health and employee engagement solutions, introduces the Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass Program. This is the first global, inclusive program designed to provide unparalleled support for employees recovering from cancer and the managers who guide them through their transition back to work.

The Challenges of Returning to Work After Cancer
For employees recovering from cancer, the return–to–work journey often includes:

  • Physical fatigue and cognitive difficulties impacting day–to–day productivity.
  • Emotional challenges such as anxiety, fear of judgment, or stigma in the workplace.
  • Uncertainty about navigating workplace dynamics and performance expectations.

Employers, too, face challenges in understanding how to provide meaningful support while balancing business priorities. Managers may struggle with designing flexible accommodations or fostering team inclusivity.

How the Cancer Care Compass Program Addresses These Challenges
The Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass Program is purpose–built to tackle these specific hurdles with a holistic, multi–layered approach:

  • Emotional and Psychological Support: Up to 18 counseling sessions, combined with mindfulness sessions, help employees build resilience and manage stress.
  • Vocational Reintegration: 12 tailored coaching sessions with a Coordinator of Occupational Reintegration and Adaptation (CORAT), a specialist who guides employees in setting achievable goals, enhancing skills, and addressing workplace challenges.
  • Functional Assessments and Work–Life Searches: CORAT specialists evaluate employees’ holistic needs and connect them to essential resources, including dietary consultations, physical rehabilitation, mobility aids, and complementary therapies such as acupuncture or therapeutic yoga.
  • Seamless Manager Collaboration: CORAT specialists facilitate communication between employees and managers, ensuring accommodation and reintegration plans are aligned with the needs of both parties.

Empowering Managers to Lead with Confidence and Compassion
The Cancer Care Compass Program recognizes that managers play a pivotal role in fostering a compassionate and inclusive workplace. The program provides:

  • Unlimited Manager Consultations: CORAT specialists offer expert guidance on workplace accommodation and flexible reintegration plans.
  • Manager Toolkit: A three–chapter guide offering practical strategies for every stage of reintegration:
    • Prepare: Understanding cancer treatments, legal compliance, and flexible planning.
    • Act: Implementing accommodations, managing team dynamics, and conducting check–ins.
    • Support: Sustaining emotional and practical support for employees and teams while encouraging self–care for managers.

“Managers are the architects of an inclusive and psychologically safe workplace culture,” explains Dr. Kennette Harris, Chief Clinical Officer at Workplace Options. “This program equips them with specific tools to create environments where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to be their best self.”

What Sets Workplace Options Apart

Workplace Options Unveils Comprehensive & Compassionate Return-to-Work Program for Cancer Survivors

RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Returning to work after a cancer diagnosis is a journey fraught with challenges—physical fatigue, emotional hurdles, and workplace reintegration complexities. To bridge this critical gap, Workplace Options (WPO), a global leader in holistic health and employee engagement solutions, introduces the Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass Program. This is the first global, inclusive program designed to provide unparalleled support for employees recovering from cancer and the managers who guide them through their transition back to work.

The Challenges of Returning to Work After Cancer
For employees recovering from cancer, the return–to–work journey often includes:

  • Physical fatigue and cognitive difficulties impacting day–to–day productivity.
  • Emotional challenges such as anxiety, fear of judgment, or stigma in the workplace.
  • Uncertainty about navigating workplace dynamics and performance expectations.

Employers, too, face challenges in understanding how to provide meaningful support while balancing business priorities. Managers may struggle with designing flexible accommodations or fostering team inclusivity.

How the Cancer Care Compass Program Addresses These Challenges
The Return to Work: Cancer Care Compass Program is purpose–built to tackle these specific hurdles with a holistic, multi–layered approach:

  • Emotional and Psychological Support: Up to 18 counseling sessions, combined with mindfulness sessions, help employees build resilience and manage stress.
  • Vocational Reintegration: 12 tailored coaching sessions with a Coordinator of Occupational Reintegration and Adaptation (CORAT), a specialist who guides employees in setting achievable goals, enhancing skills, and addressing workplace challenges.
  • Functional Assessments and Work–Life Searches: CORAT specialists evaluate employees’ holistic needs and connect them to essential resources, including dietary consultations, physical rehabilitation, mobility aids, and complementary therapies such as acupuncture or therapeutic yoga.
  • Seamless Manager Collaboration: CORAT specialists facilitate communication between employees and managers, ensuring accommodation and reintegration plans are aligned with the needs of both parties.

Empowering Managers to Lead with Confidence and Compassion
The Cancer Care Compass Program recognizes that managers play a pivotal role in fostering a compassionate and inclusive workplace. The program provides:

  • Unlimited Manager Consultations: CORAT specialists offer expert guidance on workplace accommodation and flexible reintegration plans.
  • Manager Toolkit: A three–chapter guide offering practical strategies for every stage of reintegration:
    • Prepare: Understanding cancer treatments, legal compliance, and flexible planning.
    • Act: Implementing accommodations, managing team dynamics, and conducting check–ins.
    • Support: Sustaining emotional and practical support for employees and teams while encouraging self–care for managers.

“Managers are the architects of an inclusive and psychologically safe workplace culture,” explains Dr. Kennette Harris, Chief Clinical Officer at Workplace Options. “This program equips them with specific tools to create environments where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to be their best self.”

BitMEX Launches Multi Asset Margining: Simplifying Trading for Derivatives Markets

MAHE, Seychelles, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the OG crypto derivatives exchange, is announcing the launch of Multi Asset Margining. This game–changing feature allows traders to use multiple margin currencies – including USDT, USDC, ETH, and XBT (Bitcoin) – to trade derivatives contracts without the hassle of asset conversions or wallet transfers. The tool was designed to streamline the trading process, enhance flexibility, and increase capital efficiency, empowering users to trade with more currencies of their choice, with the list of currencies to expand in the future.

With the addition of Multi Asset Margining, users can open and maintain positions using currencies other than a contract’s settlement currency. This eliminates the step of time–consuming asset conversions, allowing users to hold multiple currencies to gain exposure to diverse markets simultaneously.

Unlike the requirements set on most exchanges, BitMEX ensures a frictionless trading experience—users can deposit their preferred currency and start trading immediately without needing to shuffle funds between wallets.

Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX said, “The launch of Multi Asset Margining on BitMEX marks a transformative milestone in simplifying trading for our users and to enhance their capital efficiency. By removing the need for tedious asset conversions and wallet transfers, this feature not only simplifies the trading process but also unlocks new opportunities for our users to maximise their capital and engage seamlessly with the crypto derivatives market. As we look to 2025 and the next decade, we want to affirm our commitment to creating a more accessible and efficient crypto trading ecosystem.”

How Does Multi Asset Margining Work?

BitMEX’s new Multi Asset Margining system automatically allocates a user’s funds to meet the margin requirements of their positions in the most efficient way possible. Traders can easily enable the feature through their account settings and monitor their available margin on the Wallet page.

To get started:

  1. Navigate to the order form on the left side of the trading UI.
  2. Click on the ‘Single Asset’ button on the top left corner of the order form. In the pop–up window, select ‘Multi Asset Margining’.
  3. The ‘Single Asset’ button should be changed to ‘Multi Asset’.
  4. Start trading with a preferred margin currency.

For the full details on how Multi Asset Margining works on BitMEX, visit the FAQ page here or the BitMEX blog.
