Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
are a cost effective means where they have covered their own costs very quickly
and have helped to reduce stress and related absenteeism.
In addition, they provide a valuable tool for management teams, monitoring and highlighting areas of concern related
to stress at work. EAPs give your employees' access to qualified and experiences counsellors, enabling then to seek
advice and support a wide range of issues that can temporarily disrupt their lives and affect their performance at work.
Working from the premise that unresolved issues can exacerbate levels of stress, EAPs help to prevent problems escalating
by enabling employees to talk problems through, gain a sense of control before perspective is lost and adopt coping strategies.
In a world where stress costs are increasing in the workplace and that most people experience stress at some point in their
lives, it makes good business sense to implement Employee Assistance Programs
