Mental Wellness Culture: A success story between Instahelp and KNAPP Industry Solutions | ivii GmbH

Keyword “mental health”: why is KNAPP Solutions dealing with this topic at all? What do you expect from it?

In my opinion, the entire working world is undergoing an enormous upheaval. Buzzwords such as new work, digitalization, home office and a wide range of training opportunities are, for me, a huge transformation of the professional environment.
In this field of tension, it is important to take good care of your employees and support them in staying fit not only physically, but also mentally. By this I mean when, despite the workload and rapidly changing conditions, you manage to perform your tasks with a certain “lightness” and joy, while still finding time and energy for friends, family and your own needs.

What were the greatest psychological effects on KNAPP Solutions employees as a result of the Corona crisis?

The sudden transition to a new work environment, such as home office, the reduction of social contacts, experiencing Leadership by Distance, and doing so in an uncertain Corona environment.
