Xanthis

Client Case Studies

Xanthis has conducted detailed research on how different organisations use Xanthis Online. The evidence collected in three major case studies, at the University of Cardiff, Oxford University, and Dyfed Police force, has shown that:

• Xanthis Online is used differently in every organisation.
• The type of content accessed in Xanthis Online varies depending on the organisation
• Xanthis Online links up different support services
• Xanthis Online is used in 4 ways
  • Anonymously by employees
  • As a first step to contacting the Occupational Health or support services
  • As an alternative to coming into Occupational Health
  • As an adjunct to treatment for a physical or mental illness

Xanthis Online can be used to integrate and link up other employee support services.

Below is a detailed summary of three key case studies, highlighting how different organisations have incorporated Xanthis Online with their models of staff support. Some organisations have used Xanthis Online as part of an Occupational Health model, whilst others have built it in as part of their stress management plan and policy.

Xanthis Online was launched at Dyfed Powys Police Force in September 2007 as part of a ‘Healthy Minds at Work’ Program, a European Social Fund initiative. It gets regular and consistent use throughout the week and at weekends. Since its launch, alongside a number of other initiatives, a positive culture change regarding mental health has been identified throughout the force. Absenteeism has been reduced and scores have improved in the annual stress audit.
