What is an Employee Assistance Programme?

Personal issues and problems can have an impact on the way people work, resulting in reduced performance, lack of focus and absence. This can lead to significant costs to a business, not just in hours lost but in low productivity and an unbalanced working environment. 

An Employee Assistance Programme – or EAP for short – enables employers to prevent many of their employees’ problems at home and at work from escalating. We’re on hand 24/7 with practical advice and support if ever life takes a wrong turn.

An EAP is a comprehensive suite of benefits and services that managers can purchase on behalf of their employees. Purchasing an EAP is a way for employers to help keep their teams happy, healthy, motivated and productive. Features typically include an assistance line, factsheets and access to confidential and independent online, telephone and in-person counselling, legal, debt and money, and parenting advice. We’re proud of our EAP, and we think it’s the best in the business, that’s because we’ve spent years developing our services to make sure we’re there for you team, whenever they need us.
