24 Oct 2007 - 14:55: PPC Worldwide has set up an India-wide operation
PPC Worldwide has set up an India-wide operation to ensure delivery of high quality, innovative Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) as part of our commitment to serving the needs of Indian employers and international companies with a presence in India. In India PPC operates out of Bangalore. This office is an integral part of the global network of PPC partners, and is very well placed to provide fully integrated EAPs covering both local and international employee populations.
PPC’s presence in India has been set up with a clear focus on delivering culturally appropriate services to meet local needs. PPC understands the unique challenges currently facing Indian companies and organisations as they strive to build and maintain an effective and a motivated workforce in one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In a fast paced environment, the impact of growth and change on employers and employees is significant.
The challenge for companies and HRD professionals is to enable employees to effectively address issues in a proactive way. Employee Assistance Programmes are an important part of building a more effective workforce: employees are far more productive when their personal and work lives remain unaffected by everyday issues and concerns. Furthermore effective EAP interventions will assist individuals to develop the necessary skills to overcome obstacles and difficult situations. EAPs can support companies in:
• Attracting and retaining the best staff
• Increasing productivity
• Helping staff to manage pressure more effectively
• Reducing costly errors in the workplace
• Addressing issues emerging from the westernisation of business practices
• Reducing the costs of absenteeism
• Managing and minimising risk behaviours
PPC has over 30 years of experience in supporting organisations through periods of significant change and growth, whether this is through takeover, expansion or a change in operational practise. We have worked in partnership with a wide range of organisations to support the HRD function and wider organisational objectives. PPC has extensive experience in corporate and government sectors, and has specialist knowledge of the following areas:
• Multi-national and multi-cultural workforces
• Call centre environments
• BPO
• White collar and blue collar industries
• Shift working
• Fast changing environments
A PPC EAP will provide your employees with access to highly professional confidential 24/7 counselling, information and advisory services. With the highest standards in the industry, PPC offers the following specialist services in India:
• Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP)
• Work/ Life Enhancement services
• HR and Manager Support Services
• Web Based Coaching Programmes
