Employee Assistance Programme

Roles and practices offering confidential support services. What a good programme includes, and why it signals culture.

Knowledge

Employee assistance, in plain terms.

An employee assistance programme is a confidential support service: counselling sessions, helplines and often legal, financial and family advice, available when life gets difficult inside or outside work.

Depth varies between schemes, so the useful question is what is actually included: how many counselling sessions, and whether family members can use it. It is a benefit you hope never to need, and a real signal that a practice takes wellbeing seriously.

This hub gathers the roles and practices advertising an employee assistance programme as part of their offer.
