“…Employment rates among individuals with psychiatric conditions are low (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2011), not improving (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014; National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2014), and associated with high personal and societal costs (Banerjee, Chatterji, & Lahiri, 2017; Millner et al, 2015). At the same time, estimates suggest that a large majority of people with psychiatric disabilities have an interest in working (Brantschen, Kawohl, Rössler, Bärtsch, & Nordt, 2014; Livermore, Stapleton, & Roche, 2009). Given these issues and challenges, vocational services for this population have received increased emphasis, particularly within the mental health system (Drake, Bond, Goldman, Hogan, & Karakus, 2016).…”

“…A subsequent trial by the Zurich group confirmed that people with severe mental illness who were on disability for less than a year were 2.7 times more likely to reintegrate into the general labor market with IPS-SE than those receiving usual services (Viering, Jäger, Bärtsch, et al, 2015). The Zurich group also focused on factors that predicted the reintegration success in SE (Brantschen, Kawohl, Rössler, Bärtsch, & Nordt, 2014; Landolt et al, 2016; Viering, Jäger, & Kawohl, 2015). In their most recent paper, they showed that participants who obtained a job, as compared to those who did not, showed persistent increases in quality of life (Rössler et al, 2018).…”

Objectives: Supported employment (SE) was introduced to Switzerland in 2002. Since then, an increasing number of SE programs have been launched across Switzerland. This article reviews the state of SE in Switzerland. Method: Several Individual Placement and Support (IPS-SE) studies have been conducted in Switzerland. We reviewed the implementation, results, and possible future developments related to all Swiss IPS-SE studies. Findings: Studies have demonstrated that IPS-SE programs can be successfully implemented with excellent results in Switzerland, but most vocational rehabilitation programs do not provide SE. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: While SE is becoming the first choice for vocational rehabilitation in Switzerland, development and potential improvements are underway. Impact and ImplicationsSwitzerland has been an early adopter of SE programs in Europe, including several high-profile IPS-SE studies in recent decades. Nevertheless, large-scale implementation remains to be addressed.

“…Competitive employment has been shown to improve quality of life, self-esteem, and decrease psychiatric symptoms (Gold et al, 2016). Recognising the benefits of employment, people with SMI are motivated to seek employment (Brantschen et al, 2014).…”

People with severe mental illness often have difficulty sustaining employment. Work Behaviour Inventory and Work Environment Impact Scale are vocational assessments used by occupational therapists to evaluate the facilitators and barriers of work performance and work environment respectively. These factors may have an impact on job tenure and can inform occupational therapy practice. Methods: This study analysed retrospective data of 85 clients who attended a 3-month Employment Internship Program from August 2016 to August 2017. Scores from Work Behaviour Inventory and Work Environment Impact Scale were analysed for associations with job tenure. Repeated measures were used to determine significant changes in Work Behaviour Inventory composite scores across the 3 months. Results: One-month Work Behaviour Inventory composite scores, three Work Behaviour Inventory domains (cooperativeness, work habits, work quality), and three Work Environment Impact Scale domains (time demands, supervisor interaction, architecture) were significantly associated with job tenure. Significant differences in mean job tenure were also found between participants of different internship status. However, these factors did not predict job tenure in regression analysis. There were significant improvements in Work behaviour Inventory composite scores from the first to third month. Conclusions: Work behaviours such as cooperativeness, work habits, and work quality as well as work characteristics such as time demands, supervisor interaction, and workplace architecture may play a role in influencing job tenure. Occupational therapists may consider such factors and provide more targeted interventions to effectively sustain employment.
