Support Line -Confidential Counselling Service

With ever increasing pressure at work and at home, there are bound to be occasions when it seems difficult to balance the demands of everyday life. Problems arise, often unexpectedly, in the lives of the most well-organised people. When your employees are distracted by challenging personal issues, it can be difficult for them to focus at work – and vice versa. However, they may not always wish to, nor may it be practical, to confide in someone at work. By offering confidential and independent Employee Support to your employees, they can find the information and support they need to help them gain a better work-life balance and ensure that their contribution in the workplace is not compromised.
