How will this make a difference to your business?
An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) gives your employees access to the tools they need to overcome any concerns they have about their mental health and wellbeing. Support is provided through counselling and workshops, to legal and financial information. These services can help employees resolve issues at home, as well as in the workplace, and learn how to manage their mental health.
An EAP can help you boost confidence among employees and create a cohesive working environment. It can also promote trust and respect – two elements that are vital within any organisation.
Providing a range of support
With 79% of employees regularly experiencing work-related stress, the happier and more secure your people feel, the better they will work. This is why we are seeing an increase in the number of companies including EAPs within their employee benefits. Sometimes, impartial support is all that’s needed to reduce stress and anxiety.
What you and your team can expect from an EAP
- Expert information: Employees can access practical, expert advice over the phone, as well as online wellbeing information and tools
- Confidential counselling service: Employees take control of their mental health with access to phone, video or face-to-face counselling
- Morale boost: Engagement and productivity is increased meaning commitment to your company is elevated. Empowering your employees to be in control of their mental health reduces the impact of external issues, enhancing efficiency
