What is an Employee Assistance Programme?

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) are employee benefit programmes that offers employees a safe space to discuss any of their personal or professional challenges that may negatively impact their work performance and mental health. EAPs provide a free and confidential service for employees and their immediate families that includes, short-term counselling, legal advice, and financial guidance- wherever and whenever.

For every £1 invested in an employee assistance programme, organisations can expect to see, on average a 10x return on investment.
