EAP

An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) generally comprises confidential counselling sessions for employees as part of their employee benefits. Often it also includes webinars, workshops and training for employees on mental health and personal and professional development.

EAP is subsidised by organisations to improve productivity and mental wellbeing of their employees. It provides them with support to cope with both personal and work-related challenges. 

We do not share any information that allows identification of individuals seeking help via EAP, including their name, position in their organisation etc. 

Consistent with professional and ethical obligations of Therapists, any information shared by the employee during counselling sessions is kept strictly confidential  between the Therapist and the employee (subject to legal requirements eg harm to others). 

EAP services are subsidised by the employers and are provided at low or no cost to the employees.

At TYHO, EAP services are up to 50% cheaper than other EAP providers for employers – See our packages below and book a demo to find out more!

At TYHO, we help with issues associated with the workplace, such as:

• Lack of motivation at work
• Workplace harassment or bullying
• Financial or legal issues
• Lack of effective communication, including interpersonal conflict
• Handling work pressure and stress
• Time management and performance issues
• Work-related burnout
• Lack of productivity

Additionally, we also provide confidential counselling services for issues such as:

• Relationship challenges, including divorce and couples counselling
• Parenting difficulties
• Depression and mood swings
• Grief, bereavement, and loss
• Family trauma or abuse
• Low self-esteem
• Digital or substance addictions, including alcoholism
• Sleep issues or disorders

Stress and pressure in the workplace are constantly increasing, and employees are not always reaching out for professional help. 

A range of personal and professional issues, such as co-worker conflicts, heavy workloads, and stress about job safety, can decrease employee productivity at work.

As an organisation, you can manage larger factors such as work-life balance and providing job security, but you may be unable to know or help with your employee’s mental health issues and personal problems. Moreover, it might be hard to tell if a personal problem affects their job performance. 

The EAP assistance program at TYHO is designed to help your employees manage their problems outside and at work. 

EAP is designed in such a way that when an employee notices a problem, they can immediately reach out to our EAP counsellors before the problem worsens or affects their work. 

As a result, your employee can get the help they need, gain access to mental health resources, and solve their problem before it negatively impacts their personal or professional life. 

Similarly, our EAP services can also be used to manage ongoing issues that are affecting an employee’s work productivity. 

For example, people with chronic generalised anxiety disorder may find it hard to function  in their workplace, may struggle with setting boundaries, and managing conflicts. 

Seeking counselling through your company’s EAP program will allow the person to manage their anxiety at work and even in their personal lives. 

If you experience the below signs, you might benefit from EAP services in Singapore:

• You feel overwhelmed: Job demands, deadlines, or the nature or volume of work makes it hard for you to set work-life boundaries. 

• You feel disinterested: Working makes you feel like you are out of control, do not have autonomy in your role, and lack interest or motivation to give your best. 

• You feel anxious: Talking to your peers or co-workers makes you feel uneasy. Lack of support and bullying at work reduces your confidence and self-esteem. 

• You feel uncompensated: You do not receive adequate recognition or required monetary compensation for your work. Lack of appreciation, in turn, makes you feel incapable or unworthy.

• You suffer from a mental health disorder: Issues such as chronic depression, anxiety, and mood disorders may affect the overall quality of your life. Ignoring mental health issues might make it hard for you to handle even daily and regular tasks such as cooking, bathing, and eating food. 

• You feel lonely: If you feel lonely constantly, it may affect your sleep routines and confidence. Loneliness might also make you feel unloved.

• You have problems with eating: If you constantly skip meals or overeat, you may become fatigued, exhausted, and frustrated with your life. Your relationship with food plays an important role in your overall wellness. 

Additionally, you might experience other issues such as parental or caregiver stress, health anxiety, and significant life transitions such as relocation – which might also affect your work performance. 

Please know that you are not alone in this journey. Reach out to your organisation’s EAP to receive professional support.
