With workplace organizations experiencing an increasing concern for worker mental health, suicide prevention, and addiction recovery, many are looking for answers, but quickly get overwhelmed by the complexity of building or expanding a comprehensive, strategic, and sustainable behavioral health program. The purpose of this Quick Start Guide is to give you those first steps that will help build momentum. The aim is to use the tools outlined here to begin constructive conversations and establish buy-in from organization and industry leaders. It is not meant to be a comprehensive manual, just a way to prioritize initial action steps across several domains. While building a fully integrated Workplace Suicide Prevention, Mental Health Promotion, and Worker Well-being culture change initiative can be daunting, getting started doesn’t need to be. This “Quick Start Action” icon is a cue to take an initial step!Citation

Why CFOs Should Stop Worrying and Learn to Love EAP/WellnessEmployee assistance programs (EAPs) are often the go-to resource for at-risk employees grappling with personal problems -- substance abuse, depression, stress, marital strife, etc. These programs have gained popularity among employers as a preventative or early intervention measure, allowing employees to address personal issues before they escalate into larger -- and far costlier -- health problems. Despite serving as the primary entry point for over 150 million American workers seeking professional support, short-term counseling and referrals for any personal or behavioral health concern, many EAPs continue to serve employees without knowing or improving upon their workplace impact – until recently. There is increasing recognition amongst EAP providers that in order to continue to thrive, the EAP field needs to be able to measure and demonstrate effectiveness in quantifiable business terms.

EAP and COVID-19: Work Safely Protocol: COVID-19 National Protocol for Employers and WorkersThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected every part of Ireland’s society and economy. In the face of this, the biggest challenge we have encountered in decades, the people of Ireland have universally stepped up to the plate and adhered to the strict guidelines put in place by the Government, following the advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET). We have all contributed to the progress that Ireland has made in containing the spread of COVID-19 and in so doing we have saved lives. However, our continued progress in reducing the spread of the virus remains challenging. We collectively and individually need to continue our efforts to keep the virus under control. The revision of the Return to Work Safely Protocol has become necessary to ensure that it reflects the Government’s Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID- 19 as well as updating the public health advice available since its first publication. This revised document is now called the Work Safely Protocol. It continues to be designed to support employers and workers to put infection prevention and control (IPC) and other measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. The Work Safely Protocol also covers the measures needed to both ensure the safe operation of workplaces and the re- opening of workplaces following temporary closure due to local and regional restrictions.
