Last updated: 27 February 2026

Connecting employees to emotional, financial and legal support when they need it most.

How our Employee Assistance Programme can help your employees

Overwhelming personal issues may be affecting your employees at work, from mounting debts, struggling with the loss of a loved one, or experiencing anxiety caused by difficulties at home.

Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offers dedicated, specific support in an array of areas.

Our EAP can help to tackle sickness absence and presenteeism rates, by providing counselling support that helps employees identify the root causes.

It takes courage to ask for help

Our support is completely confidential. Your employees can be assured that our trained counsellors will do all they can to support them through their journey.

Employees are able to access the EAP from anywhere, at any time, in a place they feel comfortable.

Our EAP allows your employees to access a 24/7 telephone helpline, enabling them to speak in confidence to an accredited counsellor or subject specialist.

Employees can receive advice and information on areas including:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Emotional problems

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Bereavement

  • Family issues

  • Health and wellbeing

  • Financial and debt support

  • Legal support

61% of UK employees left a job in the last year or plan to leave in the next 12 months due to poor mental health.*
