Manah Wellness has launched a pioneering initiative, ForeverFreeEAP, designed to transform the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) sector. This groundbreaking program offers organizations free access to all EAP calls, addressing the global demand for unrestricted mental health support for employees. The initiative aims to disrupt the traditional EAP model, often limited by the number of counseling sessions available to employees.
Statistics reveal that only about 6% of employees globally utilize EAP helplines, highlighting a significant gap between the need for emotional well-being support and its utilization. This low uptake can be attributed, in part, to the limitations of the traditional EAP model. Manah Wellness advocates for an unlimited and entirely cost-free support system, removing financial barriers and enabling organizations to fully embrace mental wellbeing as a fundamental part of their culture.
“Imagine a world where every employee has the freedom to seek help whenever needed, without any restrictions on the number of calls, sessions, or issues discussed,” said Manah Wellness Co-founder and CEO Dr Ashwin Naik. “By eliminating the financial barriers to EAP services, we enable organizations to fully embrace mental wellbeing as a fundamental part of their culture, encouraging a healthier, more resilient workforce.”
Manah’s ForeverFreeEAP program significantly enhances accessibility to EAP services, facilitating employees’ access to support during emotional distress and guidance for improving their mental wellbeing. This initiative empowers organizations to broaden their range of EAP services, cultivating a supportive workplace environment committed to the comprehensive health of every team member.
By eliminating charges for EAP calls, Manah Wellness encourages organizations to allocate resources toward mental health, such as assessment tools, communication programs, and skills development initiatives. This approach enriches the overall wellbeing ecosystem within workplaces, promoting a healthier and more resilient workforce.
“This isn’t just an innovation; it’s a revolution in how we approach employee assistance programs,” added Manah Wellness Co-founder and COO Ritika Arora. “ForeverFreeEAP represents a significant leap forward in our mission to democratize access to mental health services, ensuring no employee has to face emotional challenges alone. It’s time for organizations to join us in this movement towards a more compassionate, supportive future for all.”
Through the introduction of the ForeverFreeEAP program, Manah Wellness reaffirms its dedication to dismantling barriers to mental health support and spearheading a more inclusive and accessible future for EAP services.
