The author conducted some useful discussions on employee mental health management based on the work practice of Guangxi Guineng Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guineng Technology Company") and the actual situation of electric power enterprises.
1. The role of enterprise employee mental health management
Employee mental health is an efficient, satisfactory and sustained mental state for enterprise employees. It is mainly reflected in the five major psychological states of corporate employees: occupational stress, occupational burnout, occupational direction, organizational belonging, and interpersonal affinity, which are all positive and balanced. The purpose of corporate employee mental health management is to promote employee mental health, reduce management costs, enhance organizational culture, and improve corporate performance. Its role is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) Reduce brain drain.
Enterprises that implement employee mental health management can make employees feel that the enterprise cares about them, making employees have a greater sense of belonging and enthusiasm for work, thus reducing major human resource risks and protecting the core resources of the enterprise.
(2) Improve job satisfaction. Through the implementation of employee mental health management, employees' awareness of loyalty, responsibility, dedication, and dedication will be enhanced, their selfishness will be reduced, their resistance psychological index will be reduced, and the cohesion of the enterprise will be enhanced.
(3) Improve labor productivity. Through the implementation of employee mental health management, employees' stress can be at an optimal level, their body and mind will be healthier, and they will have more experiences, thereby improving the company's labor productivity and enhancing its core competitiveness.
(4) Prevent crisis events from occurring. Through the implementation of employee mental health management, employees' stress levels are monitored in real time, and appropriate guidance and suggestions are recommended to promote employees to adjust their physical and mental status at any time and prevent the occurrence of employee psychological crises.
There is a high correlation between employee happiness index and employee mental health. To improve employee job satisfaction and labor productivity, it is necessary to improve the employee's happiness index; to reduce employee turnover or potential turnover rate and reduce and prevent crisis incidents, it is necessary to increase the employee's happiness index. The improvement of employees' happiness index depends on the improvement of factors affecting mental health and the benefits brought by the implementation of mental health management.
2. Factors affecting employees’ mental health
At present, the working status and situation of employees in power companies make them extremely prone to psychological fluctuations and psychological deviations. The factors that affect employees' mental health mainly include the following aspects:
(1) The working environment is closed and it is difficult for young employees to find a partner. Most employees can only work in factories or relatively fixed and closed workplaces every day, making friends with cold equipment and noisy noises. The work content is heavy and they are prone to boredom. In addition, a large proportion of corporate employees are young. Most young people have reached the stage of marriage discussion. Due to little communication with the outside world, it is difficult for many to find suitable marriage partners.
(2) The speed of knowledge updating is accelerated and the work pressure is high. The widespread application of new electric power technologies and equipment has placed higher and higher requirements on the skill level and comprehensive quality of employees, and the learning pressure has increased significantly. The responsibility for safe production is heavy, and a little carelessness may lead to major safety accidents. Therefore, employees are often in a state of high tension at work and suffer from great psychological pressure.
(3) Irregular work and rest time, and boring spare time life. Production positions in electric power companies can easily lead to disorders of the human body's biological clock and emotional disorders. Over time, this will lead to a gradual decline in physical functions and an increase in mental illnesses. At the same time, employees working in remote places spend a lot of time traveling to and from places, and there is a relative shortage of rest time. Moreover, many employees live in factories, dormitories, canteens, and three o'clock and one line every day. In addition, due to the special nature of their work, employees are scattered. , it is difficult to organize group activities, resulting in monotonous leisure life.
(4) The problem of separation between the two places needs to be solved urgently due to long-term business trips in different places. Due to the diversity of employees' origins or the uncertainty of their work and service locations, many employees live in two places all year round. On the one hand, they often do not feel the warmth of home. On the other hand, they feel guilty and self-conscious because of inadequate care for their families and children. The sense of responsibility has had a certain degree of adverse impact on employees' maintaining a stable mentality.
All of the above, coupled with the increasingly fierce social competition in real life, housing, medical care, elderly care, interpersonal relationships, job changes, benefits, salary differences, family harmony, etc., will directly affect the mental health of employees.
3. Ways for enterprises to carry out employee mental health education
Employees are valuable resources for the survival and development of enterprises, and the happiness of employees is related to the harmonious and stable development of the enterprise. For this reason, it is particularly important to pay attention to and pay attention to employees' mental health, improve employees' mental health conditions, manage employees' occupational mental health, and further improve employee happiness index. How to manage employees’ mental health well, the author believes that the following five measures can be taken:
(1) Strengthen communication with employees and expand employees’ participation in corporate management
Communication is an indispensable part of business management.
In the process of employee mental health management, effective communication can open the door to people's talents and hearts, mobilize the enthusiasm of employees to participate in corporate democratic management, and promote the harmony of interpersonal relationships between corporate management and employees at all levels, thus motivating people more. , tap people's potential and better create value for the enterprise.
Strengthen communication with employees. Supervisors at all levels should actively communicate with their subordinates, listen to employees' descriptions of their abilities, needs, and values, conduct in-depth analysis and comparison of employees' working status and performance, and pay attention to employees who make more business mistakes and have greater psychological fluctuations. Comprehensively understand the difficulties they encounter in life and provide them with as much comfort and help as possible. Promote parallel communication between employees, strengthen communication through team learning, dialogue and other forms, help employees learn to improve interpersonal relationships, understand and evaluate others comprehensively, objectively and fairly, enhance employee understanding and cooperation, and reduce contradictions and conflicts. It is also necessary to establish communication systems and channels between employees and direct supervisors, and between employees and the human resources department, to provide employees with spiritual support and care. In addition to formal communication methods, informal methods such as emails and dinner table communication can be used to effectively release the pressure of employees and enable people who are working and living in a stressful life to find a suitable excuse to exchange information with each other, release their grievances, and learn from each other. Understanding and warmth, thereby gaining a passionate sentiment of life. Establish an employee grievance system, set up suggestion boxes or online forums to allow employees to openly discuss work issues, and give employees a space to release their emotions.
Expand employees’ participation in corporate management. Broaden democratic management channels, including participation in corporate decision-making and corporate system formulation, especially some decisions closely related to them, and establish a system of dialogue between managers. Provide employees with full access to various information through various means. Including the market, policies, corporate decisions, leadership intentions, career information, role responsibilities and related social information, reducing the ambiguity of corporate systems and policies and the ambiguity and conflict of work roles, thereby reducing the impact of employees due to uncontrollability and uncertainty. of insecurity.
(2) Expand learning channels for employees and improve the treatment of front-line employees
As corporate employees, the improvement of labor skills can directly bring about improvements in salary and social status, thereby improving happiness. index. Expanding employee learning channels is the most important way to improve employees' labor skills and improve their remuneration.
Increase training opportunities for employees. Improve employees' self-confidence through training, enhance their adaptability to society, and reduce the pressure caused by knowledge updates. According to a random questionnaire survey conducted by a talent market on 1,000 of 5,500 applicants at a job fair, 63.7% expressed concerns about updating knowledge too quickly. This shows that my work pressure is not caused by competitors, but by rapid updating of professional knowledge and incomplete knowledge structure. If an enterprise wants to pursue long-term development, it must have a team of high-quality employees. Guineng Technology Company takes the initiative to understand the knowledge needs and technical status of employees every year, formulates a series of different training plans based on the actual conditions of employees, and increases training intensity and funding investment year by year. Through systematic training, employees not only learn new knowledge and skills, but also improve their work adaptability, which greatly promotes the joint development of employees and the company. In addition, the company also strives to develop learning channels for employees. For example: going to various brother units to carry out business exchange and learning activities; organizing employees to participate in safety regulations examinations and training; participating in peer learning and exchange activities; going to benchmark enterprises for study and inspection, etc.
Improve the treatment of front-line employees. Fundamentally increasing employees' income will help improve employees' sense of identity with their profession, satisfy them spiritually and materially, and thus improve their status in society. In recent years, Guineng Technology Company has strengthened internal talent training and promoted front-line employees with outstanding performance to management positions, thereby improving their status and remuneration. It also revised and promulgated the "Measures for the Management of Travel Expenses", the "Measures for the Management of Employee Qualification Examination and Certification" and other systems closely related to the treatment of front-line employees based on the actual situation of the company, and implemented the "travel standards" to be linked to the "professional title level", and the "qualification certificate" to The "bonus" linkage not only increases the income of front-line employees, but also promotes the improvement of employees' professional quality and capabilities, creating a good atmosphere within the company that promotes learning and progress.
(3) Create a good working environment and build a bridge for youth friendship
A good working soft and hard environment can meet the psychological needs of employees for decent work. Creating a warm and harmonious working environment, doing everything possible to improve the comfort of employees' production and life, so that employees can work without worries, feel happy physically and mentally, and improve their happiness index are important measures for enterprises in employee mental health management.
Improve employees’ production and living conditions. Enterprises need to work hard to reduce or eliminate the discomfort caused by poor working conditions to employees. They can appropriately increase travel expenses and high temperature subsidy standards according to the market price index, improve food, accommodation, transportation and other conditions for front-line production employees; pay attention to air, noise, light, cleanliness, and greening. , decoration, crowding, etc., provide employees with a pleasant, refreshing and comfortable work space, and improve employees' sense of security and comfort. You can play some relaxing, soothing, and beautiful background music while working to reduce stress.
Strive to build bridges of youth friendship. We attach great importance to the marriage and love issues of single young people and regard it as an important task to stabilize the workforce and promote the sustainable and healthy development of enterprises. The labor union and Youth League branch of Guineng Technology Company have given full play to their respective advantages, built friendship bridges through multiple channels, actively carried out socializing activities for single young people, and created a youth dating and socializing group on the Q group to help solve the problems of single young people having difficulty making friends and getting married. The majority of young employees of the company praised it.
(4) Implement a localized recruitment system and establish family ties? Internet?
A stable workforce can play a positive role in promoting the long-term development of the company. During the talent introduction process, local recruitment can be appropriately considered for some positions to reduce employee turnover and promote team stability. With the rapid development of information technology, mankind has entered the information age mainly marked by digitization and networking. Giving full play to the advantages of the network and establishing family relationships - the Internet - provides a broader space for corporate employees' mental health management.
Implement a localized recruitment system. In its annual employee expansion plan, Guineng Technology Company focuses on applicants who are local or are willing to settle down locally. By adopting a localized recruitment method, many of the company's new employees come from local or nearby areas, and at the same time, qualified employees are encouraged to work in Buying a home locally. In this way, more labor costs and time costs can be saved, and secondly, the separation problem can be solved in the long term.
Open corporate communication network and add network facilities. In order to facilitate contact with family members in two places, Guineng Technology Company helps employees and their families apply for a corporate communication network based on free calls. Although some working conditions are difficult, as long as conditions permit, the company's commissioning project department will install network hardware facilities in the employee dormitory areas for some employees to use for video contact with their homes after get off work. This can undoubtedly alleviate the pressure of separation between the two places and allow employees to truly feel the people-oriented corporate care.
(5) Give full play to the role of ideological and political work and provide psychological counseling for employees
Humanistic care and psychological counseling are important contents and innovative carriers of corporate ideological and political work and corporate culture construction. Managers at all levels of the enterprise open their hearts and communicate with employees on an equal footing, understand their demands, thoughts, and ideas, and help employees resolve their ideological doubts, reduce mental burdens, and reduce psychological stress. Psychological counseling for employees is like spring breeze and rain, moisturizing things silently, which can promote spiritual integration and maintain corporate harmony and stability.
Vigorously play the role of ideological and political work in regulating employees’ mental health. Most employees do not show their mental illness. On the surface, they appear to be active in their work, but they may not even know about their inner psychological dangers. In recent years, Guineng Technology Company has carried out a series of physical and mental care actions for employees through ideological and political work: first, strengthening the construction of "employee home". In order to help employees achieve a balance between work and life, strengthen the special role of "mother's family"; provide employees with places such as lounges and activity rooms to relieve tension; carry out some cultural, sports and entertainment activities to make it easy for employees to regain their former passion and vitality; organize employee health examinations and carry out activities such as visiting poor people, so that employees can feel the company's care and attention to them, thereby gaining self-satisfaction and promoting mental health. The second is to implement the labor security system.
Properly arrange employee breaks so that everyone has necessary and sufficient rest time to reunite with their families and relax physically and mentally; encourage employees to take annual vacations to take vacations, etc. These effects can effectively relieve employees' mental stress and promote their healthy psychological growth.
Innovate and promote employee psychological counseling. When an employee is found to have emergency psychological problems, such as family changes, love failure, etc., psychological help should be provided immediately. When major incidents trigger large-scale psychological problems among employees, emergency plans should be quickly launched and external professionals should be brought in to carry out psychological crisis intervention to help employees with mental imbalances to release, vent and readjust their emotions and reduce anxiety, pain, loneliness and Feeling of shame and return to normal mental state as soon as possible. During a crisis, performance appraisal goals should also be appropriately adjusted to provide channels for releasing pressure. Guineng Technology Company has a new employee who is introverted and hard-working. During the probation period, he made several work mistakes and even received complaints from customers. He had mood swings and was negative about his work. After understanding his situation, the company's management created a relaxed dialogue and counseling atmosphere through dialogue, slowly opening up his psychological defenses and achieving smooth communication. Understand his concerns about work and life, guide him to overcome bad emotions and unnecessary anxiety, and adjust his job position according to his expectations and professional expertise. After listening more, caring more, and encouraging more, he continued to make progress, was recognized by department employees and company leaders, and was named the company's annual advanced individual.
Guineng Technology Company has implemented employee mental health management so far. The company’s humanized management system allows employees to obtain the dignity they deserve; humanized logistical support gives employees a feeling of home; humanistic The incentive mechanism opens up a channel for self-realization for employees. The company's employees' awareness of physical and mental fitness and happiness can be improved, improving work efficiency and work quality, and enhancing their recognition of the company. In addition to the improvement in these subjective indicators, it has also strongly promoted the safety production and operation management of enterprises. The company has achieved the "Double Zero" goal of safe production for many consecutive years, and has exceeded operating targets for three consecutive years. The income of employees has increased steadily year after year, and the employee turnover rate has decreased year by year.
To sum up, looking at some of today’s outstanding companies, they can attract the outstanding talents they need. The reason is that in addition to giving employees financial income, the company also satisfies the employees’ feelings during the work process. respect, friendship, care, personal value, learning opportunities, development space, etc. It can be seen that caring for employees, understanding employees, helping employees alleviate psychological problems, strengthening the health education system, improving employee satisfaction, and improving employee happiness index have become important topics in today's corporate human resources management.
