EAP & Workplace Wellness
Workplace Plus offers a range of practical tools and strategies to support employee wellbeing and psychological safety, and to promote a healthy workplace culture. Our holistic, fully integrated Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is positioned to deliver innovative, best practice and proactive solutions, incorporating mental, emotional, and physical health education.
Claims of work-related stress are rising.
More than ever, it is important for employers to support employee wellbeing and promote a healthy workplace culture.
Under WHS laws, employers have a duty to mitigate psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
Psychosocial hazards are factors that contribute to work-related stress, such as poorly managed change, traumatic events, bullying and harassment and high job demand.
As a preventative measure and response support, it is extremely important to ensure your staff have access to a range of reliable tools for workplace wellness, such as an employee assistance program (EAP).
