Employee Assistance Program - EAP
Helping organisations support their most valuable assets - their employees.
Fast, confidential service to employees both in public and private sector organisations.
Why do I need an Employee Assistance Programme?
Work can have a significant impact on people's mental wellbeing.
Employers can help to foster a mentally healthy workplace, for example by taking action to prevent and manage stress and training line managers on mental wellbeing.

Staff Counselling
Being in good shape mentally as well as physically is vital to a healthy, productive and happy workforce.
There are times where everyone experiences the pressures of life, but there are some situations that can leave employees feeling so overwhelmed and stressed, it impacts on their ability to perform their job.

What Happens With An Employee Assistance Programme Referral?
We accept two types of referrals:
1. Self-referral where the employee seeks help on their own and nobody know about it other than the sponsor (usually HR or OH)
No record of this type of referral appears in the employee's personnel file.
2. A formal referral is conducted by the employee’s manager, Human Resources or Occupational Health department. Any recommendations to be referred may or may not appear in the individual's personnel file depending on the situation. Often, no record is made unless there is a need for formal disciplinary action.
What is discussed during the sessions, however, is not reported to the employer in either case.
What Are The Aims Of An Employee Assistance Programme?
Actively assess and manage risk issues, referring or signposting clients to their GP, alternative NHS resources or support services where appropriate. Themes, trends and risks are highlighted appropriately which can then be used in wellbeing campaigns and training initiatives.
Counselling is person centred, versatile and corporately focused, trusted by our clients ultimately leading to great results for everyone.
