EAP stands for ‘Employee Assistance Programme’. An EAP service is an employee benefit programme that assists employees with personal problems and/or work-related issues that may impact their job performance, health, mental and emotional well-being.
As part of our wider strategy to continue to add value to our clients beyond their core plan protection, we have made available access to a complimentary EAP service for our SME WorldCare clients.
We know that many of our SME clients often want to but are unable to offer a separate EAP service for their employees, which is why we have chosen to provide it alongside our international health insurance plans as part of a broader health and wellness package.
Evidence shows that an effective EAP service can help businesses to ensure their employees stay healthy and happy, leading to a more productive workforce and supporting staff retention.
The new service is provided by LifeWorks* by Morneau Shepell, a leading provider of integrated health and productivity solutions. It provides eligible members with access to:
