Supporting your staff with their busy lives

EAP

An Employee Assistance Programme is designed to support employees with work life issues and is particularly effective as an early intervention tool for some mental health conditions.

Health Management are able to offer clients competitively priced Employee Telephone support services and full Employee Assistance Programme services.

Our full Employee Assistance Programme provide information, support and guidance on a range of issues – 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. Extensive legal and financial information and support is included, as well as access to career counselling and personal debt management.

This is supported by the option to go on to face-to-face counselling with a fully qualified counsellor, if needed. We continue to explore new and innovative ways of working by embracing changes in technology that helps us extend the ways we can provide support.

Employees can be supported in a wide variety of areas including:

  • Emotional/stress
  • Relationships/family issues
  • Legal concerns
  • Debt/financial and tax
  • Childcare problems
  • Work/career queries
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Lifestyle.

We are able to provide two service options, depending on your headcount:

  • A full employee assistance programme that includes all the modules listed above plus up to six sessions of face to face counselling, or
  • A telephone based service where face to face counselling is then paid for on a case by case basis.

For both service options you will be allocated a nominated Account Manager, who will be responsible for not only launching the service to your employees and managers, but also promoting the service throughout the life of the contract and providing regular management information. This will be provided in conjunction with the occupational health outcome data so trends can be more easily highlighted and compared.

With the increasing awareness of work-life balance as a life management issue, employees are looking to develop effective ways of balancing work and other aspects of their lives. The impact of this for the workplace means that EAPs will increasingly be used to help individuals and organisations understand how this can be achieved. With the new flexible working legislation, there will be more demand for help in developing healthy and inclusive workplace strategies and solutions.

Our approach offers a complete range of services to organisations concerned about the welfare and performance of people at work and dovetails into the occupational health service.
