How can an Employee Assistance Program help your business?

Under a recent review of WorkCover there were some indications that Worksafe may be moving towards requiring employers to provide psychologically safe environments not only at work but before and after work too.

​

This has historically been via an EAP program. We think an EAP program is a great start however, feel that we can offer a much better service that offers a wholistic approach to wellbeing, that is targeted to support your business and your specific needs using a positive psychology approach.

What is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?

An Employee Assistance Program is a voluntary and confidential free service that provides preventive and proactive interventions to employees and/or their immediate families for concerns that can affect their personal wellbeing and/or work performance, such as:

​

  • Caregiving

  • Health

  • Addiction

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Communication

  • Trauma

  • Relationship issues

  • Domestic violence

  • Homelessness

How can Boutique Psychology’s Employee Assistance Program benefit you?

​

Whether an employee’s problems are work-related or not, increased stress levels and/or poor mental health can affect their ability to perform their role well and maintain healthy workplace relationships, affecting overall productivity and workplace culture.


When care isn’t taken to support employees or their families through workplace and/or personal challenges, this can lead to poor decision-making, non-compliance, missed deadlines, absenteeism, and/or concentration and memory deficits.


With an Employee Assistance Program in place, employees can access a suite of assistance for issues as diverse as navigating a difficult workplace relationship, dealing with anxiety and depression, handling work/life balance, or supporting a family member struggling with substance abuse.


Providing this vital outlet for staff to get the support they need can create a positive workplace, resulting in:

 

  • Higher staff retention rates

  • Increased organisation loyalty

  • Better workplace conflict resolution

  • Better work performance

  • Confidence in work output and decision-making

  • Less time off work

  • Improved interpersonal relationships

​

Even though it is not free for employers to offer, a study conducted by PwC and funded by Beyond Blue and the Mental Health Commission found the return on investment (ROI) when providing an EAP is typically $3 or more in return for each $1 invested in the EAP.
