Employee Assistance Programmes

Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) provide support to employees when they are experiencing difficulties

These difficulties can include anything from financial stresses and bereavement, to mental or physical health challenges.

We believe Employee Assistance programmes are one of the most valuable schemes a company can have in place. They will provide unlimited telephone counselling 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Many will also offer face to face counselling sessions and a health and wellbeing portal with a range of online support.

Companies should have as many channels as possible for employees to seek help should they be suffering, and EAPs can provide a valuable lifeline to that support.

Employee Assistance Programmes: Your Questions Answered

Our team has put together an article addressing some of the most common questions about EAPs. It includes case studies and examples of how EAPs have been used and highlights the impact of this benefit.

Is an EAP right for your business?

If you are considering adding an EAP to your benefits offering, there are a few things to think about. As with any employee benefit, it’s important to know what problems you are trying to solve or employee concerns you are looking to address. If you don’t know what the answer is, Bigmore Benefits can help you. 

Before we make any recommendations we look to understand your workforce. Who they are, what they need and what struggles you are facing at business level. An EAP might only be part of the best solution for you. It certainly is a budget friendly option which covers a myriad of support. It’s also worth noting that often times EAPs will be included as an add on benefit to products such as Life Assurance or Income Protection.

As part of our standard process, we will review any benefits you have in place in order to maximise their engagement, and ensure a comprehensive, tailored benefits package is designed for you and your team. When you work with us, you’ve got a partner who takes a wholistic approach to your employee benefits. All while respecting and working within your budget.
