Your Contemporary
Employee Assistance Program

Bridging the gap between a reactive and proactive approach to staff wellbeing.

What is an EAP?

An EAP is an employee benefit that is generally offered at no cost to employees. Essentially, an EAP is designed as an intervention program that serves to identify and help employees with resolving problems in their lives that may be impacting on performance. In some cases, the problem is serious enough to put the employee and the company at risk.

An EAP is a confidential, short-term counselling/coaching service to assist employees with work or personal issues impacting on their performance. Employees participate and interact with an EAP on a voluntary basis.

Why have an EAP?

Identifying and addressing problems at work can be stressful for both the employee and management. With our EAP services, professional coaches, counsellors and psychologists are on-hand to help resolve issues across a wide range of areas including:

General feelings of anxiety, stress or depression
Feeling overwhelmed by pressures in the workplace and/or situations at home
Personal issues with family members
Family challenges such as divorce, serious illness or a death in the family
Conflict with a team member or members
Frustration with lack of career progression
The struggle to successfully return to work after a period of extended leave

The evolution of Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)

It is our mission to destigmatise the use of EAP services. Traditional Employee Assistance Programs have a utilisation rate of less than 5%, thus only reaching a few employees who raise their hand and ask for help. Our Contemporary Employee Assistance Programs embrace the digital experience and support 100% of employees proactively, so they stay healthy both at work and at home.
