Employee Assistance Programmes (also known as EAPs)​

​ An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is an independent source of professional and impartial information, advice and support. The service is accessed via an 0800 telephone number and is available 24-hours, 365 days-a-year, so your employees can access support at a time that suits them.​ Life can be full of challenges. Whether large or small, personal or work-related, the sooner they are overcome, the sooner we can focus on living a happier and healthier life.​ ​

An EAP provides access to a confidential and trained virtual counsellor when your people need it, as well as referral services and health and wellbeing programmes for an employee’s extended family.

At some point, everybody goes through a difficult situation, feels down, or needs advice on something; but when you feel like this it can be hard to know where to turn.

Whilst family and friends are invaluable in everyday advice, sometimes we need to look elsewhere for support. Many people may think they can’t afford professional support, which in turn means issues can persist or even worsen. This is where an Employee Assistance Programme can help.​

Our Employee Assistance Programme provides support for all of life’s challenges.
