Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace
At SAKINA, we recognise that mental health is a cornerstone of productivity, engagement, and success in any organisation. The SAKINA Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is designed to support employees and employers by providing confidential, professional mental health services that address personal and work-related challenges. By investing in employee wellbeing, companies not only enhance individual performance but also build healthier, more resilient workplaces.
Why Employee Assistance Programs Matter
Modern workplaces are fast-paced and demanding, often leading to stress, burnout, anxiety, or difficulties balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Left unaddressed, these challenges can reduce productivity, increase absenteeism, and impact overall morale. EAP services provide employees with a safe, confidential space to seek support before issues escalate, while helping organisations foster a culture of care and wellbeing.
Who Can Benefit?
- Employees experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression
- Individuals struggling with work-life balance
- Staff members coping with grief, trauma, or major life changes
- Employees seeking guidance on parenting, relationships, or financial pressures
- Organisations aiming to reduce absenteeism and improve workforce resilience
