Provide a confidential counselling service as a free benefit to your team, whenever they need it. Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is designed to support your employees’ mental wellbeing so they can bring their best selves to work.
Workers compensation claims for psychological injuries are growing up to 15 times faster than physical injury claims. Providing an EAP service can reduce this risk by supporting your team’s happiness and engagement.
We’ve partnered with Symbio by HealthHero to offer EAP for free as part of our Employment Unlimited package. For every other package, EAP is available, as an add-on which includes up to 6 structured sessions per employee per year, wellbeing information and self-care support.
Unlock extended support with EAP Premium: a holistic offering providing financial support, virtual physiotherapy and even unlimited access to a virtual GP.
