LIVE WELL BEYOND GOOD
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
An EAP is designed to support the psychological health and overall wellbeing of employees (and, if chosen by the organisation, their immediate family members as well).
​
The goal of an EAP is to offer proactive and preventative support through early detection, intervention and resolution of personal and work-related issues that could impact an employee's wellbeing or job performance.
How can an excellent EAP benefit your organisation?
​
Australian research has shown that Employee Assistance Programs can deliver a return of 5 to 10 times the initial investment. These savings come from:
-
reduced absenteeism and presenteeism
-
lower staff turnover
-
improved productivity, and
-
increased employee engagement and morale.
​
An effective EAP also helps minimise safety risks and demonstrates genuine care and support for employees - boosting trust and loyalty across the organisation.
​
As a key foundation of a successful workplace wellbeing and productivity strategy, a strong EAP is fast becoming an industry standard. It can also enhance reputation as an employer of choice in a competitive job market.
​
It is a win-win - for your organisation and your people.
