An EAP gives your team 24/7 access to a network of support for mental health and wellbeing. With Hug's EAP, employees can connect confidentially with professional counsellors or specialists to tackle personal, emotional, or work-related issues—anytime, any day.
Personal and work challenges can seriously affect your team's wellbeing, productivity, and attendance. In fact, 76% of employees reported stress-related absences last year (CIPD 2023). Hug's EAP offers proactive, preventative support, helping employees stay focused and well, no matter life's hurdles.
No, EAPs aren't required by law in the UK. But offering an EAP shows your team that you value their wellbeing and helps reduce absenteeism, making it a vital tool for businesses that care about their people.
Good news! In most cases, an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) isn't considered a taxable benefit in the UK. As long as the support is available to all employees, the service is usually exempt from tax. This means you can offer your team crucial wellbeing support without worrying about extra tax implications. Always best to check with your accountant or HMRC for specifics, though!
Hug's EAP covers everything from mental health counseling and financial advice to legal help and medical consultations.
