What is an Employee Assistance Program?
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are programs that are designed to help employees deal with personal problems that may affect their job performance. EAPs typically provide counseling, referral, and other services to employees and their families.
EAPs can be helpful for employees who are struggling with mental health issues, substance abuse, relationship problems, or other personal difficulties. These programs can also be beneficial for employers, as they can help improve employee productivity and morale.
Employee mental health in New Zealand
New Zealanders are working harder than ever before. With long hours and high expectations, it’s no wonder their mental health is suffering.
In a recent study, one in five workers said they had experienced a mental health problem in the last 12 months. This is a significant increase from the one in seven workers who reported experiencing a mental health problem in 2010.
Mental health problems can have a huge impact on employees and businesses. They can lead to absenteeism, presenteeism (when employees are at work but not productive), and high staff turnover. They can also cause accidents and errors, and reduce creativity and innovation.
There are steps businesses can take to support employee mental health. These include offering flexible working arrangements, providing access to counseling services, and training managers to recognize and respond to signs of stress or anxiety.
