Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for the education sector
Stress, workload and safeguarding trauma are driving teachers out of the profession. Our EAP is designed to stop that.
1 in 3 people in the education sector experienced a mental health issue in the past year
Education is one of the UK’s most emotionally demanding sectors. Our EAP helps your organisation protect staff wellbeing and reduce disruption to learning.
On average, teachers have a lower satisfaction with life than the average UK adult. How can we change this?
Teaching is one of the UK’s top ten most stressful professions and affects an estimated 40,000 people.
With the number of pupils increasing, teaching recruitment rates below target and just under 10% of state teachers leaving the profession, it is more vital than ever for your organisation to keep hold of talent.
Using our industry leading EAP services, we can support your organisation to boost teacher wellbeing and reduce turnover, ensuring your establishment retains top talent and can focus on delivering success.
An EAP could be your educational organisation’s secret weapon
People in the education sector are more stressed than ever and more prone to leaving their organisations.
With 70% of people in the education sector reporting increased workload it has resulted in 1 in 3 people actively seeking work elsewhere. This is where our EAP services come into play.
We provide your people the tools to be self-sufficient in managing their stress and mental health. With access to 24/7 counselling and an unrivalled host of wellbeing resources, your people will be better equipped, feel more supported, leading to a more engaged and dedicated workforce and lower organisational turnover rates.

EAP services tailored to teachers
Our EAP tools and support were built on our experience of supporting over 13.5m people in 88,000 organisations operating in some of the most stressful environments. With everything we learned, we tailored our services to the educational sector, supporting staff with:
Unlimited 24/7 support
The biggest barrier to good mental health for many people in the education sector is limited access to support. We remove that barrier by providing round-the-clock access to our expert counsellors via a dedicated hotline. On everything from workplace stress, legal issues or debt management, our team will help yours navigate any challenge.
A culture of support
Our real-time wellness trackers help your staff to create an organisational culture of mutual support. By helping your people track their sleep, activity levels, stress and more, we help them support not only themselves, but each other as well - improving morale and nurturing a healthier work environment.
Resources on demand
Any teacher can tell you that the right educational resources can be life changing. Our extensive wellbeing library supports people to manage their stress and overcome mental health issues. Using resources such as guided meditations, exercise routines and healthy recipes alongside access to counselling, your people can effectively maintain their wellbeing and prevent absences.
Real world support with real world impact
Our employee assistance programmes for schools and educational institutions deliver higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, and greater productivity. Our clients tell us that the work we do has a measurable impact on the work they do.
“A great addition to our wellbeing offer. Now that people are so used to gaining information on their phones, they can access information, advice and guidance around mental health and wellbeing but also most importantly have 24/7 access to trained counsellors and wellbeing practitioners.”
