Employee Assistance Program

The COVID-19 pandemic had significant negative implications for the mental health and psychological functioning of individuals. During and after the pandemic, a lot of changes may take place in organisations that may cause stress among employees and this may lead to the generation of interpersonal conflicts that damage the working patterns of individuals. Correspondingly, stressed employees may experience depression, anxiety, and burnout, and become unable to concentrate on their work, thus resulting in decreased performance. Indeed, maintaining satisfactory levels of employee performance is an important area of concern for many organizations, which can be obtained by providing psychological services to their employees to help them adjust to the new changes, increase their resilience, and enhance their well-being.

EAP offers considerable benefits to both the employee and the organisation:

How an EAP benefits organisations

• Improves engagement and productivity:
  When employees are mentally and physically healthy, they have more opportunities to focus on their work. This in turn helps to improve employee engagement and boost productivity.
• Reduce presenteeism and absenteeism:
  Teams with highly engaged and happy employees also experience fewer sick days and a reduction in presenteeism, as the employee feels well equipped with the tools they need to mitigate their stress and make positive changes.
• Greater employee retention:
  When organisations provide access to employee assistance, they demonstrate that they care about their employees and prioritise their mental health and wellbeing. This promotes employee loyalty and allows organisations to retain their talents long-term.

How an EAP benefits employees

• It is confidential:
