Are you stuck with an EAP but there are gaps in your compliance and workforce needs?
Author: Chantelle Jones
Businesses recognize the importance of employee wellbeing and the critical role that effective support systems play in fostering a positive and productive work environment. However, traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are falling short in adequately supporting mental health and wellbeing for both businesses and their employees.
Axis created Premium Care to address the gap for organizations that wish to maintain an EAP but find it inadequate for the demands of a modern workplace or their compliance requirements.
Premium Care offers a proactive, comprehensive approach to enhancing physical and psychological wellbeing, supporting employees before challenges escalate. With features like a 24/7 Workplace Triage Hotline, immediate risk profiling, accessible telehealth, and an integrated mental health pathway, Premium Care surpasses traditional EAPs.
This article discusses how to fill the gaps of your EAP using Premium Care:
Challenge 1: Managing the Impact of Workplace Injuries on Wellbeing
Workplace injuries impact both physical and mental wellbeing. Pain and limited mobility can cause stress, frustration, and even depression, affecting motivation and job satisfaction. Without professional support, employees may develop anxiety about returning to work, leading to longer recovery times and disengagement.
How Premium Care Helps: Premium Care provides early intervention to prevent injuries from escalating physically and mentally. With immediate access to physiotherapists and mental health professionals, employees receive comprehensive care that reduces pain, alleviates stress, and restores confidence in returning to work. This proactive approach ensures a faster, more effective recovery while promoting long-term wellbeing.
Challenge 2: Addressing Complex Workplace Challenges
Workplace issues such as bullying, harassment, and interpersonal conflict can create significant stress and negatively impact mental and physical health. Additionally, employees facing complex medical or psychological challenges require specialised support beyond standard care options.
How Premium Care Helps: Premium Care provides customised solutions for challenging workplace situations. Whether through individualised case management, workplace workshops, or leadership training, Premium Care equips businesses with the tools to address conflict, support employees through difficult situations, and create a healthier work culture. This targeted approach ensures employees receive the right support, fostering a positive and resilient workforce.
Challenge 3: Reducing Absenteeism and Presenteeism
Work-related stress, injuries, and unresolved health issues are leading causes of absenteeism and presenteeism, impacting workplace productivity and morale. Employees who feel unwell—whether physically or mentally—are less engaged and productive in their roles.
How Premium Care Helps: By offering immediate access to physiotherapists and mental health professionals, employees receive early intervention and treatment, preventing minor issues from escalating into chronic conditions. This reduces unnecessary sick leave and ensures employees can perform at their best.
Challenge 4: Enhancing Employee Engagement and Retention
A lack of access to timely support can lead to frustration, disengagement, and ultimately, higher turnover rates. Employees who feel unsupported are more likely to seek opportunities elsewhere.
How Premium Care Helps: Providing accessible, high-quality care shows employees they are valued, increasing job satisfaction, engagement, and overall retention rates. Businesses that prioritise wellbeing create a culture of trust and loyalty among their workforce.
A Future-Focused Approach to Workplace Wellbeing
Forward-thinking businesses recognise that investing in employee health is not just an ethical decision but a strategic one. Premium Care delivers a proactive, fully integrated solution that reduces absenteeism, prevents injuries, and enhances mental and physical wellbeing in ways traditional approaches cannot. With Premium Care, businesses can foster a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce. Now is the time to move beyond outdated support models and embrace the next generation of workplace wellbeing solutions.
