Employers have a duty of care to protect the mental health of their employees, as much as their physical health. An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a uniquely tangible, visible and cost-effective way for employers to demonstrate a real commitment to improving mental health in the workplace.
There are many things that employers can do to implement a comprehensive mental health strategy, but an EAP – giving employees ready access to counsellors trained to help with stress, anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, bereavement or financial difficulties – is a practical first step that will have an immediate impact for your organisation in the form of reduced short and long term sickness absence and a happier, more productive workforce.
EML can offer an EAP service via our associates at Albion Legal (in partnership with employee health specialists BHSF). The 24-hour EAP helpline is just a phone call away and will give your employees access to the following;
- Accredited counsellors and subject specialists
- In-depth counsellor assessment
- Free advice, information and signposting to further help
- Online interactive mental fitness tool
- Self-help workbooks
- MyMindPal mental fitness techniques
Costs start from as little as £6.25 +VAT per employee, per year, with other add-on options including face-to-face counselling, HMRC compliant employment assistance and enhanced telephone services.
If you would like to know more about this additional service, please contact us on 01942 727200 and speak to one of our consultants, or email enquiries@employeemanagement.co.uk for further information.
