This page outlines the Griffith University policy and program for providing counselling services as part of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
The benefits for the University of offering counselling services under an EAP include improved workforce productivity and performance, reduced absenteeism, decreased accident rates, less time spent by supervisors/management dealing with staffing problems in the workplace, greater staff retention, and higher staff morale.
The benefits for staff of being able to access employer provided counselling services include practical assistance in working through personal problems, greater empowerment to deal with problems and develop personal problem solving skills, and less stress caused from unresolved work related or personal problems and/or difficulties in work performance.
