Employee Assistance Programme. Why Us.

Why choose Hospitality Action’s EAP?

Hospitality Action’s EAP was created by hospitality people, for hospitality people, and already supports over 180,000 industry professionals.

Hospitality Action has over 180 years’ experience of helping hospitality people, meaning we are uniquely placed to understand and resolve the specific issues they face at work and in their personal lives. Our EAP has been tailor-made to support the industry we serve. It addresses key issues such as stress relating to long hours, and split shifts; financial pressures stemming from lower pay; and addictive behaviours linked to the proximity of alcohol and substances. 

Our EAP supports industry professionals by providing specialist, independent and confidential advice, support and assistance. Its range of benefits includes personal counselling, legal guidance, addiction support, debt and money advice, parenting helpline, elder care helpline and a whistle-blowing service - all for an annual cost of just £5.95 + vat per employee plus a one off joining fee in your first year of subscription. Whatever the problem, we’re here to help 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.

We also offer critical incident and trauma support. For example, we provided on-site counselling to hospitality professionals after the Borough Market and Manchester Arena attacks.

Uniquely among EAP providers, should a hardship grant be required by any recipients of EAP support, we’re able to point them towards our grant-giving team, for consideration for further support. Isn’t it good to know somebody’s got your back when life takes a wrong turn?
