What is an EAP and how does it work?
An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a confidential wellbeing service that supports employees with personal, emotional or work‑related challenges that may affect their performance, health or attendance. For Irish employers and HR teams, an EAP provides a structured way to offer 24/7 mental health support, early intervention and professional guidance when employees need it most.
Our EAP combines in‑the‑moment support with short‑term counselling, clinical assessments and specialist referrals for employees and their immediate family. Organisations also gain access to manager guidance, Occupational Health services, and a wide range of wellbeing webinars and workshops designed to strengthen workplace culture and support leaders across Ireland.
How Irish employers and HR teams benefit from an EAP
