Employee Assistance Programmes

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

A short guide to our Employee Assistance Programmes support

The Benefits

Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) provide support to employees when they are experiencing difficulties in their day to day life. These difficulties can include anything from financial difficulties, bereavments, to mental or physical health challenges.

EAP will provide unlimited telephone counselling 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Many will also provide face to face counselling sessions and can provide a health and wellbeing portal with a range of online support.

We believe Employee Assistance programmes are one of the most valuable schemes a company can have in place. Companies should have as many channels as possible for employees to seek help should they be suffering, and EAP can provide one of the valuable lifelines.

Employee Assistance Programme considerations

At Bigmore Benefits part of our objective is to obtain as much important information from you, so we can assist you to make the right decisions for your company.

Key considerations when reaching a decision:

What is the current and future anticipated demographic of your workforce?

"“I had worked with CB Benefits for a previous business 3 years ago. I remembered the professionalism and friendliness of the Company and its staff and asked them to come and pitch for pensions and benefits with my current company. The package offered was just as I had expected. The process was made very easy for us, CB Benefits staff are always on hand to answer queries and most importantly my staff love the user portal and are using the benefits to their full potential. I would strongly recommend CB Benefits to other companies.“
