Employee Assistance Programs

From time to time, employees experience difficulties which may impact on their productivity or performance at work. These difficulties may include personal problems such as ill health in the family, separation or financial pressures. While for other employees, it is work-related concerns such as resistance to change, stress and conflict with other workers that affect their performance.

Watershed’s Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are built on the realisation that a person's life is a totality - not a neat division into "work" and "personal life". Work stresses affect our lives and personal challenges affect the way we function at work.

Watersheds EAP counselling assists employees to clarify a problem, identify options and develop plans to approach difficult issues in a constructive manner. Counsellors provide a safe and supportive environment to address work or personal concerns. Employees are encouraged to seek help and assistance as early as possible before problems start affecting their lives in a detrimental way.

By providing practical strategies that bridge the gap between business and life, we help individuals and families balance their work, relationships, health and wellbeing, and we help organisations create a positive, supportive and productive workplace.

Combining three decades of specialist hands-on counselling & case management experience with the very latest methods for managing the modern workplace, we partner with your management and staff to deliver proven solutions to identify, resolve and minimise risks in your workplace.

We work with you to proactively minimise potential risk factors before they become disruptive as well as help you respond effectively to adverse incidents should they occur. As a result you will see remarkable improvements in crucial areas such as absenteeism, workplace conflict, low morale, employee turnover rates, poor performance, accidents, theft and sabotage, harassment and unfair dismissals.
