EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
An employee assistance program (EAP) supports trainess with work-related problems as well as personal problems that may impact on their performance, health and mental wellbeing. An EAP offers funded confidential counselling for trainees and their family members as well as consultative support for preceptors and supervisors.
EAP Assist supports employees wellbeing with confidential phone counselling throughout Australia and overseas. One of the most important aspects of effective counselling is for it to be delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Counselling aims to help resolve both workplace and personal issues before they adversely impact an employee’s mental heath, well-being and workplace performance.
Common issues include workplace conflict, bullying, stress, anxiety, depression, burnout as well as personal issues such as alcohol and substance abuse, gambling, relationship issues, domestic violence and trauma.
These issues can cause work based difficulties such as absenteeism, poor productivity, reduced performance and low job satisfaction and may also affect the employee’s ability to cope with the demands of everyday life.
EAP Assist counsellors are all qualified and highly experienced and will initially ask for your name as well as that of your employer in order to confirm eligibility for services. Information obtained during counselling is confidential and will not be released to any third party without prior written consent.
To access up to three hours of telephone counselling from 9am - 9pm Monday - Friday go to Booking Form at: eapassist.com.au/booking-form/ using your company’s allocated Helpline Number/Access Code: (which can be found on Google Classroom) your registered company Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine-ACCSM.
