Manager's Guide - Health Assured EAP
Management Referral Document
What is an Employee Assistance Programme An Employee Assistance Programme actively promotes Physical and Emotional Wellbeing . Whilst an EAP is designed to offer support to employees and their Direct family members, it is also a valuable Business Tool, which if used effectively can:

Important Note
There will be instances when it is clear to you as a Line Manager that an Individual employee would benefit from the support offered by the team within Health Assured. However, sometimes making the first call to seek help and support can be daunting.
The Management Referral facility is designed to support the individual and Line Manager. Provided that the Individual is happy to receive a call from a member of the Health Assured Counselling Team, then you as the Line Manager can complete a simple Referral Form (as attached) and Health Assured will empathically manage the situation moving forward and contact the individual.
Please note that it is not always necessary to complete the Referral Form and you can simply call the helpline and pass on the details. HOWEVER it is always ESSENTIAL that the Employee has consented to receiving the call

Day 1 Occupational Health Support For Stress Related Absence The Unique Active Care Service from Health Assured provides effective intervention on the very first day of a stress related absence which ensures a far higher degree of pro-activity and engagement with the employee. The Active Care benefit supports the individual, often facilitating a far earlier return to work, thus reducing absence costs and mitigating liability for the employer.
An experienced occupational health clinician, with a Psychology Degree and Counselling Supervisor qualification will contact the employee via telephone (or secure web conferencing facility) and undertake a structured management referral. A detailed report will be provided to the employer within 24 hours, following the consultation. If a consent form is received by 4pm, the consultation will be undertaken on the same day.
