III. GUIDELINES

Occupational social work finds itself in an "area of conflict" between company, economic and social framework conditions. It is part of company and social infra-structure. Occupational social work activates individual, social and company ressources.
 
The offer of assistance has to cover a broad range going far beyond simple casework counselling, in order to do justice to the complexity of problem solution strategies which are appropriate for the respective organization. Occupational social work must be tailored to the organization and its employees according to their specific requirements. Furthermore it may assist and cooperate in the development of personnel and organizational procedures.
 
It is involved in committees and working teams, and in particular takes a professional part in boards concerned with staffing and social policy.
 
Further professional development concerning the methodology of occupational social work, e.g. through collaboration with academic institutes, is to be supported.
