How does an Employee Assistance Programme work?
An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) are an employee benefit programme offered by many employers across Ireland. EAP’s are intended to help employees deal with personal problems that might adversely impact their work performance, health and wellbeing. An EAP generally includes assessment, short-term counselling and referral services for employees and their immediate family - wherever they are in the world.
Making a difference
It is not an exaggeration to state that Health Assured’s approach has revolutionised the EAP market, moving the model from passive, reactive care to clinical based, proactive and interventional support for the immense benefit of both the employee and employer. Health Assured’s industry-leading EAP supports over 70,000 organisations across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
EAP’s are needed now more than ever. And it’s time that all Irish workplaces reflected that. Mental health at work is of growing importance. So it’s understandable why the Irish government is now recommending that workplaces make employees aware of this wellbeing support where it's available. Health Assured are here to help you make this change successfully so you can start supporting your employees and improving business performance.
