An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is an employer-paid scheme that gives employees 24-hour access to confidential support, professional advice and short-term counselling to help them deal with personal and work-related problems that are impacting their physical and mental well-being at work. They are considered to be one of the most effective ways for employers to look after the well-being of their employees and play an important role in helping to boost and maintain workplace morale, motivation and engagement.<\/p>\n
Good health is good for business. The happier and healthier your employees are, the more productive they are likely to be at work.<\/p>\n
The reality is, life can be a big juggling act and this can take its toll on people\u2019s physical and mental well-being. Managing finances, having family responsibilities and dealing with pressures in the workplace can put a huge amount of strain on an individual. It is not always possible to separate leave those stresses at home.<\/p>\n
In addition to the financial cost of sickness absence and low productivity, matters of employee health can be sensitive and difficult to manage for many employers.<\/p>\n
This is where an EAP can help – and this is where we can help you, whatever the size of your company or budget.<\/p>\n
Providing access to support services, such as\u00a0 qualified guidance or counselling on sensitive subjects, may sound expensive or like something only a corporate business can provide.<\/p>\n
However, our EAP does not cost the earth and\u00a0will not only reinforce your commitment to employee wellbeing, but also look very attractive on your list of employee benefits and position you as a company that people want to work for.<\/p>\n
For a low-cost annual fee, you can provide your employees with support they can count on:<\/p>\n
All of our EAP counsellors are fully-qualified practitioners in counselling or psychotherapy and accredited or registered with a professional organisation. They are trained to advise on a wide range of issues including mental health, substance abuse, addiction, grief and bereavement, and work-related problems.<\/p>\n
After an initial assessment to gauge how the employee is feeling and to discuss their current situation and concerns, the counsellor will decide on the appropriate course of action to get help that is needed. All sessions are personalised to an individual\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n
In addition to emotional support, our EAP gives employees access to practical guidance and impartial advice on matters related to finances, family support and legal matters. All of Our EAP advisors have backgrounds in law, accountancy and banking and can help employees navigate a variety of complicated and burdensome issues including family law, personal injury, landlord disputes, pensions, discrimination, debt, welfare and benefits – and many more.<\/p>\n
