For employers
Occupational psychologist online, no waiting list
Direct help for work-related complaints, workload and work capacity. For the employee and, if you wish, also for the household.
Quick answer
What does an occupational psychologist do?
An occupational psychologist focuses on the relationship between person and work: workload, work capacity, threatened absence, re-integration and work-related complaints. At MentalCareDirect™ specialists work proactively: they contact participating employees for measurements and guide them based on the results. Energy measures twice a year; Care and Family four times. If there are complaints, our psychologists step in within a few working days for treatment, with no waiting list.
- Specialists take the initiative for measurement and guidance
- Psychologists step in as soon as treatment is needed
- Nationwide network, online or on site
- Fixed monthly amount, only for participating employees
Why employers bring in an occupational psychologist
One in five employees reports burnout complaints. Absence caused by mental health complaints lasts the longest on average and quickly costs employers tens of thousands of euros per employee in continued pay, replacement and lost productivity.
Waiting for someone to call in sick is the most expensive route.
An occupational psychologist works earlier in that process. Not after a sick note, but at the moment recovery and load fall out of balance.
To see that, we use a medical-grade ECG measurement of three to five days, which shows objectively what someone does not yet feel.
No waiting list, across the Netherlands
Waiting times in regular mental health care run into months.
Because we work with a nationwide network of specialists and our own lead practitioner, we have no waiting list. An employee can start within a few working days, online or on site.
Occupational psychologist, company psychologist or company doctor?
The company doctor assesses fitness for work. The company psychologist looks more broadly at the person, behaviour and organisation. The occupational psychologist focuses specifically on workload, work capacity and return to work. We combine those angles in one subscription. Read the full comparison.
