Employee Assistance Programs, when done correctly, can help you support your employee's health and wellbeing.

Bill Banham's guest this time is Dr. Jonas Eyford, CEO at Recharge Wellness, a company offering custom wellness programs for organizations across Canada. The firm provides an employee support service (to enhance or replace an EFAP), on-site clinics, and wellness webinars.

In late 2022, Jonas and his team made a major upgrade by launching a disruptive EAP which, he says, is "set out to fracture the stale reality of poor engagement with a wholly different approach to EAPs & mental health."

Questions for Jonas include:

In terms of mental and physical health, how much harm did the pandemic do to the wellbeing of today's employees?
Tell us about the new Employee Assistance Programme from your team and why it's unique.
What HR processes need to be in place to support EAPs?
What about HR leaders? Do they get enough support?
Why is the use of mental health benefits consistently lower in older generations?
Does the EAP industry need disruption? If so, why?
