Introducing an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and providing your employees with access to structured, short-term counselling is a cost-effective way to improve workplace mental health and employee wellbeing in your workplace.
Why offer EAPs to employees?
At some point, everyone will experience problems or events in their work or personal life that may cause them stress or anxiety. Having the right support in place ensures that individuals who are struggling can quickly access the help they need to deal with issues at an early stage, before they escalate and start affecting their health and work performance.
Not only does this help to promote a happier, healthier, more productive workforce, it also reduces the likelihood that employees will need to take time off for mental-health and stress-related reasons.
Alongside our industry-leading EAPs, which offer your employees year-round access to free, confidential online, telephone and face-to face staff support on a range of issues, we also provide a manager-led counselling service so no matter what your requirements, you can be confident we will have a solution as an employee assistance provider, to meet your business needs. For further support, we also offer Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training services.
