Don’t renew your EAP. Reinvent your care.
There is a better way.
Three reasons why you should reconsider employee assistance programs
-
People aren’t getting the help they need.
EAP engagement is too low. Over a third of people are suffering in silence with multiple issues at play, and over time, their issues compound to breaking point.
-
There are barriers to getting support.
Not only do your people need to recognise when they need help, they need to overcome the stigmas of help-seeking and then know where to get help.
-
Earlier intervention makes a difference.
Too many support mechanisms are reactive rather than proactive. This means that intervention only occurs when your employees are at crisis point.
A new approach to employee wellbeing
Every person is unique and not everyone needs a psychologist.
Organisations should consider an approach that takes a holistic view of employee wellbeing, focusing not only on employee mental health, but personal and workplace safety and - most importantly - medical assistance.

The largest employer in Australia is making waves with Sonder
In 2020, determined to make a more meaningful impact on employee wellbeing, Woolworths CEO, Brad Banducci and his team started reimagining the company’s employee assistance offering. This led Woolworths to partner with Sonder to provide on-demand, safety, medical, and mental wellbeing support - available 24/7, at the touch of a button.
Is Sonder an EAP?
No - it’s so much more
Sonder's health and wellbeing team is here to help in seconds, not days or weeks. We provide immediate care for people across a broad spectrum of safety, medical and mental health: from mild, to everyday needs, to critical situations. We're available by phone, app, chat and video - and we can be there in person too.
As EAP therapy options are limited - both virtually and in-person - and medical support isn’t readily available through traditional providers, it’s worth considering if you could be doing more for your people. Learn more about what makes us different from traditional EAP services.
