Employee assistance programs
Each of our businesses provides a private and confidential counselling service. This service - the Employee Assistance Program - is available to all employees and their families. The counselling is provided by external qualified counsellers and covers a variety of issues such as stress management, health issues, relationships, grief and career advice.
Critical incidence trauma counselling is available in the workplace, as required, for all employees and customers who experience a traumatic event.
