As a leading EAP provider in the UK, we offer more than a employee assistance programme; we include proactive mental health and wellbeing tools, dedicated account management and clear MI reporting.
An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a confidential support service that helps employees deal with challenges affecting their wellbeing, performance and ability to work.
Whether someone is struggling with stress, anxiety, financial worries, family issues, bereavement or a difficult life event, a workplace EAP gives them access to professional guidance and practical support when they need it most.
For employers, an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a proactive way to support wellbeing, improve retention, reduce absenteeism and help employees return to work with confidence following ill health or personal difficulties. Employers achieve an average return of £10.85 for every £1 invested in an EAP, driven by improvements in productivity and reduced absence1.
By helping employees get access to early support for mental health, financial, family and personal challenges, EAPs can prevent issues from escalating into longer periods of absence. Work-related stress, depression and anxiety accounted for 22.1 million lost working days in the UK during 2024/252.
An EAP provides employees with access to professional support before, during and after periods of absence, helping them rebuild confidence and return to work successfully.
An EAP demonstrates a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing, helping organisations strengthen retention and reduce recruitment costs.
Early access to confidential support can help minimise the impact or personal challenges, improving day-to-day productivity.
A workplace EAP is a highly valued employee benefit that supports wellbeing while strengthening your employee value proposition. It helps demonstrate that your organisation takes employee health and wellbeing seriously.
Many Employee Assistance Programmes offer manager support services, helping leaders navigate sensitive employee situations, wellbeing concerns, difficult conversations and workplace issues with greater confidence.
