Employee Assistant Program
Why is EAP important?
Workplace mental health is equally important as physical health. Most developed economies and in India, there are various strategies used by corporate to improve the mental wellbeing of their employees, thereby increasing productivity. The EAP (Employee Assistant Program) implementation is high yielding and cost-effective intervention.
Strategy
1. Create a Long-Term, Organization-Wide Mental Health Strategy - This strategy should work hand-in-hand with your overall business strategy.
2. Mental Health Training for Leadership - Effective leaders must be trained, invested in, and sensitive to workplace mental health.
3. Develop Tailored Mental Health Supports - There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Effective programs are evidence-based, targeted, and inclusive.
4. Prioritize and Optimize Your Return-to-Work Process Checklist - Return to work should not mark the end of support for the employee; it’s a critical stage in the support process.
5. Track Your Progress - Performance measurement is the keystone of a sound workplace mental health strategy.
