Like most people who are working for the long-term, EAP NSW is an offshoot of employment. Employment Assistance Program in New South Wales has evolved rapidly to attain more sophistication in service delivery to employees all over the world. So whether you are an Australian citizen, an expatriate or contract worker, the program has you covered.
A Quick Bird’s Eye View
Once you sign up with a company for long-term employment, part of the employment package is a slew of benefits, particularly of the medical variety. As the tip of the iceberg, there’s something that’s usually called EAP NSW.
You know, this is the part in your benefits handbook where you get a free 1-800 number to call in case you need any advice with managing your wealth, family well-being, and of course, your state of mind. In the bluntest sense, a company or corporation doesn’t need you if you can’t perform the job for which you are being paid for.
So to ensure that you stay in tiptop working condition, a firm usually attempts to manage things in a proactive manner. Let us say for the sake of example that you work for the armed forces and you are deployed for combat overseas. Naturally, there will come times when you will need counseling or psychological evaluation for PTSD in order to continue doing your work efficiently.
If this is an extreme example, consider the situation of a single working mom who struggles to make ends meet with say, three mouths to feed. Being employed helps pay the bills, while employee benefits will take care of the family’s medical and dental benefits. But what about the psychological needs of the single parent, doesn’t that need some amount of caring, too?
Welcome to the avenue of employee assistance that can have such a wide application in this day and age. In some cases, this benefits avenue may even include relief assistance or evacuation in the event of a flood, earthquake, and any other unforeseen event. Sooner or later, every employee needs assistance.
As a result, companies naturally grow their assistance offerings. Anything can happen in the course of growing up or growing old with a company of your choice. That there is a 100% confidential line to reach out and receive all kinds of counseling for any help you may need with parenting, saving, and just trying to be a hardworking and honest employee.
