employee assistance programme


The EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME (EAP) provided by Agathos is a comprehensive
programme that helps employees resolve personal problems that may adversely impact
on their work performance.

Agathos addresses problems in the quickest, least restrictive and most convenient
manner while minimizing cost and protecting client confidentiality.

These concerns include:

  • personal issues such as health, marital affairs, work, family, finance, alcohol, drugs, legal issues, emotional issues or stress, which may impact negatively on job performance
  • Seven day 24 hour telephonic access to professional counselors for assessment, consultation, referral and crisis management
  • Professional assessment of issues related to mental health, substance abuse within the workplace and other challenges in living
  • Education on the worksite
  • Presentations on a range of emotional, family, work and living skills


The EAP also includes a training aspect: supervisors and employees are empowered through education in order to be able to deal with issues such as:

  • family relationships issues
  • workplace concerns
  • alcohol and drug problems
  • personal and emotional difficulties
  • health and behavioral issues
