Employee Assistance Program - EAP     

EAP Empower Pacific partners with organisations to deliver quality professional services that focus on employee wellbeing, resilience and improving workplace productivity.

Our EAP philosophy is to provide effecting strategies to assist employees to:

  • Overcome personal and work problems that have impacted their performance and daily quality of life

  • Promote employee loyalty and staff retention

  • Provide incentives for staff to take great responsibility for their own work performance and behaviour

  • Provide a supportive confidential framework to assist employees to recognise and understand underlying issues affecting their well being

  • Learn new skills and make concrete positive changes in their coping strategies

How does EAP Empower Pacific Work?


We assist companies to promote EAP in their organisation so all employees are aware of EAP services. Everyone experiences difficulties in life, and EAP is there to support employees and students to recover and perform at their best.

Most employees self-refer to access an EAP appointment, normally at the nearest branch of Empower Pacific, but this may be negotiated otherwise. HR Managers also support employees to access the EAP services. In emergency situations, on-site services are available. Normally up to three counselling sessions are offered depending on the agreement with the company.

Confidentiality

The confidentiality of employees and students who participate in counselling is the cornerstone of EAP professional counselling ethics. 
Employees/students receiving EAP counselling are informed about the scope and limits of confidentiality at the time of initial contact.
Any information regarding employees/students who access EAP counselling will be treated with the strictest confidence

Critical Incident Debrief and Group Training

Our EAP counsellors are experienced in critical incident debriefs, usually follow a very difficult situation that has left groups of employees or students struggling. Our team responds quickly to requests from organisations. A Debrief session is about one and a half hours long and enables small groups to share emotions, thoughts and worries using a strength-based counselling approach and discussions to explore various coping and self-care strategies.


In addition, our trained EAP facilitators have a number of established group training packages and can tailor workshops to specific organisational needs.
