The Latest From Workplace Options
ELEVATE
Elevate is a depression and anxiety support program that provides employees with longer term counseling through face-to-face clinical sessions. The product is meant for individuals who have symptoms that are deemed too significant for the short-term, solution-focused approach of a traditional EAP.
Spotlight on ZigZagHR magazine
More and more organisations provide their employees and their families with an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). Never heard of it? An EAP is a service
that supports employees and managers in their mental, emotional, physical and practical wellbeing. By doing so, you show as an organisation that your employees’ wellbeing really matters. Throughout the year, employees can contact a team of professionals, around the clock and free of charge, for a listening ear or a helping hand. The support is both curative and preventive, and deals with work-related problems, stress management, healthy nutrition and also provides support if you are worried about your children or your partner, who can also contact the EAP themselves. This way, the EAP relieves at the same time the HR team and the internal service that cannot be available 24/7.
