What is Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and Does it Really Work?

EAP is a professional, confidential programme designed to engage employees to deal with their personal and relational difficulties that may impede their physical health, work performance, mental and psychological well-being.

Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) aim to benefit employees by providing assistance for any personal or work-related problems that may have an adverse impact on their job performance and emotional wellbeing.

Some key benefits of Effective EAP include happier employees, an increase in employee productivity, efficiency and morale, a decrease in absenteeism and sick leave, and greater employee retention.
