Many employers, especially larger organisations, implement an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to support their workforce. An EAP is a valuable employee benefit designed to help employees manage personal or work-related issues that could negatively affect their performance, health, and wellbeing.

Implementing an EAP offers numerous benefits, including improved productivity, reduced absenteeism, and enhanced employee satisfaction. It also demonstrates the organisation's commitment to employee wellbeing, fostering a positive and supportive workplace culture.

Our Sample Employee Assistance Program Policy serves as an excellent starting point for developing your own EAP policy. 

This policy is a sample only. Employers should seek advice from the Ai Group in tailoring this policy to the particular needs of the organisation.

Guidance notes and instructions are shown italicised.
