Empower Your Team with Mental Health Support

Affordable Employee Assistance Program Providing Rapid Access to Registered Psychologists for Stress and Burnout

Why Companies Work with Wombat?

  • To reduce burnout rates, provide employees with access to professional mental health support, promote a balanced work-life culture, and encourage regular breaks. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) offer tailored services to improve resilience, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

  • Reducing staff turnover is critical to improving your bottom line, as the costs of hiring and training replacements can be substantial. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) help address underlying issues like stress, burnout, and mental health, leading to higher job satisfaction. By investing in EAPs, businesses can retain skilled employees, reducing recruitment costs, lost productivity, and the disruption caused by frequent staff turnover. This proactive approach minimizes economic losses and promotes a healthier, more stable workforce.

  • Ensure timely mental health support with a triage call within 24 hours. This rapid response helps assess the severity of the issue, guiding employees to appropriate care, and minimizing delays in addressing mental health concerns. A swift triage process is essential for reducing stress, enhancing employee well-being, and maintaining workforce productivity, especially during critical moments.

What is an Employee Assistance Program?

An EAP is all about looking after your team’s mental health by giving them access to professional support when they need it. Burnout, staff turnover, and rehiring costs way more than providing solid mental health care. We connect your team with accredited Aussie psychologists to help reduce stress and create a healthier, more positive workplace.
