A typical Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a package of support provided by an employer to boost an employee’s wellbeing. The package can include confidential counselling and advice on a wide range of work and personal issues, including;
An effective EAP will empower an employee to act, addressing a concern or an opportunity with more knowledge and confidence. This can result in their improved wellbeing, which in turn supports them to excel in their jobs.
Money worries play a large part in people’s mental wellbeing, and this can reduce the capacity for such individuals to work at maximum efficiency, or even cause absence from work. During employment there are certain life events (such as promotion or taking parental leave) that are touchpoints to engage people about money. However, many EAPs fail to embed money advice so staff are unable to access the money advice and practical help they need.
