Occupational Health

Employee Assistance Programme

We want to help you keep your business healthy. In our experience, bringing many years of Occupational Health service expertise to large companies, that means helping you look after your employees.

Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) helps your employees deal with the personal issues and challenges we all face in life. An Employee Assistance Programme helps them deal with things like financial worries, stressful relationships, concerns about childcare or legal issues. It's important, because worries like these could significantly affect their productivity.

By providing guidance, confidential advice and information, we help them stay focused during working hours on delivering results for your business. Our Employee Assistance Programme is staffed by experienced GPs and counsellors. They can help to recommend relevant early intervention, which could help to reduce absenteeism and improve staff overall wellbeing. This is how it works:

We'll help your employees…

• Your employees can talk to experienced counsellors about any subject that's worrying them.
• Medical advice and guidance from a GP is available, day and night, through our 24 hour GP helpline.
• Employees can use our 24 hour Stress Counselling helpline in complete confidence.
• Employees have 24/7 access to an online system with a wide range of information to help them with personal and work-related issues.
• Our Employee Assistance Programme provides a large resource of essential knowledge that can help them resolve issues at work or in their personal lives … and there's professional help to hand for unexpected crises, as well as day-to-day worries.

We'll help you…

• By helping your employees deal with the challenges of life, your business performance could improve.
• A Management Support service gives your managers access to a personal adviser. This helps you get the most from your managers, as they discuss and get advice on employee issues and team management.
• Our telephone based Critical Incident Service will be available 24/7, to support employees in the aftermath of a critical incident and help minimise the risk of post-trauma stress.

You can offer support at a level that suits your business…

Our Employee Assistance Programme can make a difference to your business, and to your employees' wellbeing. Your employees could benefit from an option that offers face-to-face counselling sessions – a service that comes highly recommended by medical professionals. Or you could add options to include:

• Mediation services – helping individuals deal with conflicts, grievances and disagreements.
• Employee workshops – dealing with bullying, anger management, phone rage, and successful presentation skills.
• Performance coaching – helping middle and senior managers with the unique challenges they face in their roles.
• An ethics line – for employees to report their concerns in confidence, while helping you identify possible risks to your company.

Guarantee help for your employees in these areas…

An Employment Assistance Programme helps employees deal with the stresses and strains of life. That means they can benefit from guidance on a diverse range of issues:

• In their personal lives it could be anything to do with their family or relationships, legal concerns, money worries, a bereavement, housing issues, or general worries in everyday life.
• At work it could be a concern about work issues of any kind, retirement, their work life balance, redundancy or workplace conflicts.
• About their health in general we can help them by offering guidance on physical health, mental health and stress, nutrition and illness concerns.

With award-winning experience in Occupational Health services, we're confident that our Employee Assistance Programme could offer significant benefits to your employees and to your business.
