Tangible proof [GSE&SA1] that the employees are Eurobank’s most valuable asset, is the Occupational Health and Safety Policy that the Bank has put in place since 2005.

Eurobank applies all measures required under the national and EU legislation to ensure the health and safety of its employees, customers and associates while, at the same time, implements a Health and Safety Management System (HSMS), certified as per the OHSAS 18001:2007/ELOT 1081:2008 standards for the entire Branch network of the Group, as well as for 7 office buildings.

In this context, the Bank also implements a prevention and safety programme for its employees through various initiatives:

• It runs four fully-equipped infirmaries in Attica where occupational physicians offer clinical services and medical advice to employees.
• It provides prescription services free of charge through associated physicians.
• It offers regular medical check-ups to all employees.
• It coordinates a blood bank, run by Eurobank staff, to meet the needs of employees and their dependents for blood.
• Ensures the systematic informing and educating employees on health and safety issues, cultivating personal involvement and responsibility mindset.

To efficiently deal with any private matters or emergencies that may arise in relation to its staff, Eurobank has put the following prevention and support mechanisms in place:

• Training in first aid and occupational health and safety including building evacuation and emergency response drills.
• Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM): Supporting employees on handling sudden traumatic events and crises inside and outside the workplace (such as robberies, accidents, terrorist acts, workplace violence, inappropriate employee or customer conduct, sudden death, natural disasters etc.).
• Case Management Service (CM): A dedicated team of consultant psychologists and psychiatrists provide comprehensive support to employees facing difficulties, aiming to help them restore balance on a personal and professional level. A psychologist offers advice to the Bank’s senior officers on handling such issues.
• Support Line: Employees may consult experienced psychologists until 21:00 hrs daily to get support in handling workplace or family-related problems or any other situations they might be preoccupied with. All communication is strictly confidential.
• Fostering Dialogue & information
  • Connected intranet system
  • Management updates
  • Support at work - HR4U

All relevant information regarding the above initiatives is available on the Bank's intranet site, while employees can also contact the HR4U helpline.
