Their value has been established over decades. An ECP is a programme provided by an employer through the services of a qualified counselling service, designed to help employees overcome emotional, stress, relationship, substance or other psychological problems that may be affecting their productivity.
Some problems are hard to leave at home, others arise on the job.
Any of them can begin to affect employees health, performance and relations with others. An ECP provides an opportunity to resolve troublesome personal or professional problems through confidential counselling. It can relieve pressure and provide an opportunity to acquire a new perspective on a problem. It makes good sense to consult a professional when issues start to have an impact on your personal or work life. The earlier problems are faced, the earlier they can be resolved.
