Personal well-being resources for you and your team
THE REIV RECOGNISES THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYERS BEING ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR TEAM’S EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH.
This is why we have joined hands with EAP Assist to provide individual Members, agencies and their entire staff and families with a suite of resources to combat mental health issues and promote wellbeing both inside and outside the workplace.
EAPs (or Employee Assistance Programs) are a valuable resource that take a proactive, preventative approach to workplace mental health.
All REIV Members can now access quality online resources that will help businesses improve:
• Performance and productivity
• Reduce absenteeism, conflict and occupational stress
• Improve staff morale, employee retention and recruitment
• Reduce workers compensation and other costs
• Improve employee satisfaction
• Enhance employer/employee relationships
EAP Assist resources for Members include:
• Evidence-based, clinically tested wellness apps that address a comprehensive range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety and stress as well as many wellbeing issues, including resilience, confidence and sleep.
• Online digital programs for mental health designed to help employees identify, understand and improve psychological difficulties like stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia as well as well-being issues like grief, substance abuse, financial concerns and pain management.
• Daily wellness posts aimed at proactively managing an employee’s mental and physical health before potential issues occur.
• Access to Virtual Care Solutions that are composed of a valid and reliable mental health screening test designed to provide more information about your employee’s mental health and detect warning signs of a mental illness. This is supported by further suggestions on what the employee’s next steps should be based on the results.
• Access to fun, flexible wellness challenges that are designed to foster healthy habit-forming behaviours from healthy eating to mindfulness, to team building, to fitness challenges and more.
• EAP Assist Resilience Program is designed to help develop coping skills they can use to endure tough times and quickly bounce back, face change head-on and come out in a better place.
WHO CAN ACCESS IT?

WHAT ABOUT PRIVACY?
The REIV, any other Member or employer will not have any access or visibility on any individual’s usage of the resources. All interaction between individuals and the EAP Assist website is limited to the individual and EAP Assist.

EAP Assist services should be utilised by all employees, not just those struggling with mental health issues, to make a positive impact on their personal and professional lives. EAP Assist is a full well-being model focusing on helping all employees feel better, feel less stressed, be more resilient and more confident by providing a very broad range of professional wellness services.
