Planning, safety and precision are key in the chemical industry.
But what if the invisible tips the balance? When tension, stress and conflicts increase – and employees are mentally exhausted?
Our managers are aware of these invisible problems and know that, despite many discussions and offers, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
Health insurance statistics show that sick days are increasing, particularly in the area of mental health.
30% of all absences in Germany are now due to mental health issues.
The consequences for companies:
🔻 declining productivity
🔻 Difficult to plan
🔻 Growing pressure on managers and teams
That is why we at Ursa-Chemie have responded.
Since March 2025, we have been offering all employees anonymous, external life counselling.
Discreet, low-threshold, bookable online – 100% financed by the company.
The programme is accompanied by Godi Hitschler, a psychological management consultant specialising in mental strength, conflict and crisis management.
She is known for achieving rapid and sustainable results using innovative methods:
✅ fewer sick days
✅ Higher team performance
✅ Noticeably better atmosphere in everyday working life
‘I don’t believe in the saying “There’s no place for private life at work.” People come to work as a whole – with their worries, their strengths, their history. If we ignore that, we lose both potential and humanity,’ says Godi Hitschler.
The counselling is embedded in our occupational health management programme – until now, the focus has mostly been on physical activity. Now we are consciously turning our attention to the mental aspect as well.
The opening lecture, ‘Stress relief – using emotional intelligence to achieve greater serenity in the workplace,’ was a door opener for many. The second impulse will follow in autum
‘Speak up – clear communication leads to greater harmony within the team.’
‘It was clear to us that if you demand performance, you also have to offer protection,’ says Andreas Möller.
‘Not only when someone is absent, but preventively, with genuine attitude.’
👉 Perhaps now is the right moment to take a look at your company too. And get started.
