EIBE - Entwicklung eines betrieblichen Eingliederungsmanagments und dessen Einbindung in ein ganzheitliches Gesundheitsmanagement

A nationwide project to ensure participation in working life for people with disabilities and maintain employability The EIBE project aims to define criteria for operational integration management in accordance with Section 84 (2) of Book IX of the Social Code (SGB IX) in the German Vocational Training Centres throughout Germany and to develop products that map the process implementation. In a development partnership between the Institute for Quality Assurance in Prevention and Rehabilitation GmbH at the German Sport University Cologne (IQPR) and the Association of German Vocational Training Centres (ARGE), the focus was on developing a model for implementation in the Vocational Training Centres that can also be an attractive and effective aid to action for small and medium-sized companies. Most of the Vocational Training Centres are medium-sized service providers in the field of education with comprehensive competences in vocational rehabilitation and integration. In the conception of EIBE this target group was in the focus of the development. In the further course of the project, the focus will increasingly be on the target group of small and very small companies. In order to demonstrate a high level of competence as a basis for later services for external customers - in the majority small and medium-sized companies - the "confrontation" with the topic in one's own company is the decisive test. To increase competence in all areas of occupational health management and authenticity, the developed application routines are tested for practicability in the Vocational Training Centres themselves, because only intensive involvement with the topic and practical integration work results in a precisely fitting structure with company-specific processes. Scientific findings are also obtained from company practice, which provide answers to the following project questions: - For which target groups does occupational integration management appear to be particularly suitable? - Which agents can be involved in company integration management and what can their tasks be? - How can company integration management be designed in terms of content during implementation? - What can be conducive and obstructive factors in the use, implementation and execution of company integration management? In the first phase of the project, structures were established in 23 of the 25 Vocational Training Centres involved. So-called EIBE teams were installed, action routines were developed and optimized in practical case work, roles and responsibilities were defined, and the findings from practical experience were compared and incorporated into case work. In nine Vocational Training Centres, company agreements were concluded in 2006 that regulate company procedures and responsibilities in EIBE and BEM. A comprehensive data protection concept helps the agents in the collection, transfer and utilization of personal and integration-relevant data. The BEM manual forms the core of the company integration management and regulates all processes from the identification of BEM-relevant signals to the conclusion of a BEM, from the documentation of the process steps to the definition of the file contents that an employer is allowed to view. The EIBE project website helps the project partners to exchange information and data and is to be increasingly prepared for use by companies in the future. To date, a total of around 250 employees have been made the offer of an occupational integration program, of whom 194 have responded and 146 people have taken part in an initial and informational interview. For 47 people, the process of integration was initiated in the form of the next process stages, starting with an exploratory interview. It is worth mentioning the result that 11 Vocational Training Centres intervened even before the 6-week period stipulated by law and offered their employees appropriate assistance for integration. The main problems were in the musculoskeletal area, followed by psychological and psychosomatic Indications: and cardiovascular diseases. Two Vocational Training Centres have so far been successfully audited in integration management during the project period and certified by the HVBG. A further 4 Vocational Training Centres will be audited by the end of March 06. Since only a few employees have gone through the entire process chain to date, it is not yet possible to draw sufficiently concrete conclusions about the "ideal" target group. EIBE will be further developed in the next project phase (EIBE II):.
