I Am an Employer, How Can I Help My Staff?

Employee Assistance Program

Baptistcare’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a way to provide the people in your organisation with techniques and strategies to: 

• deal with change
• resolve conflict
• address personal issues
• improve work-life balance.

Personal problems can have a serious effect on the work performance and safety of staff members, colleagues, and clients. Although not work-related, marital conflicts, family violence, bereavement, supporting family members who have a chronic illness, alcohol or drug problems or financial and legal concerns, can all impact on a person’s work performance and as a result directly impact on the safety and productivity of a workplace.

Baptistcare’s EAP service is confidential and cost-effective.

Advantages of an EAP to an employer

• Reduction in absence through sickness
• Increased productivity
• Fewer accidents and errors
• Fewer workplace conflicts
• Lower insurance premiums
• Improved risk management
• Improved retention of staff
