In today’s working world, companies not only face economic challenges, but also the responsibility to provide their employees with the best possible support. Especially in the event of illness, it is important to systematically and sustainably reintegrate those affected back into the work process. This is where company integration management (BEM) comes in, which is mandatory according to §167 SGB IX.

With specialized BEM software , these processes can be mapped efficiently and in compliance with the law. But how exactly can a software solution help companies to successfully reintegrate employees?

The importance of a structured BEM process

BEM is not only a legal requirement, but also offers very specific benefits for companies and their employees. Structured reintegration can help,

• avoid long-term downtime,
• restore their ability to work and thus
• ensure productivity in the company.

For employees, a systematic BEM process means support in returning to work and individual measures to adapt the workplace or working conditions.

How BEM software optimizes the process

Manual management of the BEM process can be time-consuming and error-prone. A digital solution, on the other hand, makes it possible to carry out the entire process in a structured and automated manner. Companies benefit from several advantages:

• Legal certainty: All measures and decisions are documented in an audit-proof manner to avoid disputes.

• Flexible authorization concept: Clear access rights ensure data protection.

• Automated processes: BEM processes are controlled efficiently and comprehensibly.

• Integration of relevant stakeholder groups: The works council, representatives for severely disabled employees and other stakeholders can be involved in a targeted manner.

Core functions of BEM software

1. digital documentation and management

BEM software enables barrier-free, structured documentation of BEM cases. All relevant documents, forms and emails are stored and managed centrally in the digital personnel file.

2. automatic identification of BEM beneficiaries

Thanks to the connection to time recording systems such as SAP HCM, Sage or Datev, potential BEM cases can be determined automatically. As soon as an employee has been off sick for more than six weeks within a year, a list of suggestions is generated.

3. efficient deadline and task management

From the creation of automated invitations for BEM meetings to scheduling and task distribution – the BEM software supports the entire process. Reminders and resubmissions ensure that no important steps are missed.

4. simple integration of all parties involved

The software can be used to integrate company doctors, HR managers, works councils or the representative body for severely disabled employees into the process in a targeted and secure manner.

5. scalability and integration

Analyses and reports help to monitor the success of the measures and make adjustments if necessary. Integration with Excel and other BI tools enables detailed reporting.

Why companies should rely on vysoft BEM

A professional BEM is not only a legal obligation, but also a decisive factor for a sustainable HR strategy. With vysoft BEM, companies can digitally map the entire process, make it more efficient and thus ensure the successful reintegration of their employees.

Seamless integration into existing HR and time recording systems as well as flexible operating models (cloud or on-premises) make vysoft BEM the ideal solution for modern company integration management.

What’s more, the software is easy to integrate into your familiar Microsoft 365 environment – so you and your employees don’t have to get used to it or undergo time-consuming training.

Additional advantages of vysoft BEM

In addition to increasing efficiency and legal certainty, vysoft BEM also supports companies in positively influencing their corporate culture. A well-organized BEM shows that the company actively cares about the health of its employees. This can significantly increase employee satisfaction and loyalty.

The software also helps to identify patterns in absenteeism through targeted analyses. This allows companies to react to problematic developments at an early stage and take preventative measures. For example, ergonomic adjustments in the workplace or targeted health promotion programs can help to reduce long-term incapacity to work.

Another plus point is the reduction in workload for the HR department. The automation of many administrative processes leaves more time for individual employee support. This not only reduces the workload, but also increases the quality of reintegration measures.

Conclusion

By using specialized BEM software, companies can not only meet legal requirements, but also promote the long-term health and productivity of their employees. With vysoft BEM, reintegration is simple, efficient and safe.

Particularly widespread phishing campaigns in April 2025:

• ADAC
• Meta
• AOK

1) Fake ADAC e-mails

Here, alleged unusual activity on the ADAC account is used as a pretext to persuade recipients to click on a link. The deceptively genuine design of the emails with ADAC colors and logos makes this scam look particularly authentic.

Example campaign 2

2) Phishing attack on Meta Ads customers

Corporate customers of Meta/Facebook Ads have been particularly affected by phishing attacks this month. The cybercriminals claim that there has been a breach of copyright in order to trick users into entering their login details on a fake website. The aim is to gain undetected access to the affected accounts.

When you click on the link, you are redirected to the following website after a short “Facebook/Meta” intro animation:

It is about an alleged complaint that is said to have led to the Meta Ads account being blocked. The user is then asked to fill in the form:

After entering this data, you will also be asked for the account password:

3) AOK phishing remains active

This scam, which has already appeared in previous weeks, remains active. The attackers are copying the appearance of the Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse (AOK) health insurance fund in order to persuade users to disclose sensitive information. The colors, logos and design of the real AOK communication are deliberately imitated.

4) Further attempts at fraud

In addition to the campaigns already mentioned, masses of bogus e-mails continue to appear posing as messages from the following companies:

• 1and1
• Amazon
• DKB Bank
• ING
• Netflix
• Paypal

How to recognize phishing emails

Phishing e-mails usually have typical characteristics that help to identify them as scams. Look out for the following warning signals:

• Linguistic errors: As a rule, companies attach great importance to correct spelling. Incorrect texts are often an indication of attempted fraud.
• Conspicuous links: Before clicking on a link, move the mouse over it to display the actual target address. These are often manipulated URLs.
• General form of address: Official companies usually address their customers by name. Phrases such as “Dear customer” indicate phishing.
• Pressure and threats: Emails claiming that urgent action is required or threatening consequences if you do not respond immediately are often fraudulent.
