An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a voluntary, confidential counselling service provided by some employers to support staff mental health and wellbeing. 

 What EAPs typically cover:
 • Short-term counselling
 • Mental health support
 • Work-life balance guidance
 • Stress management resources

 🤝 Key Points:
 • Confidential services
 • Often free to employees
 • Can be accessed in-person, online or via phone
 • Designed to help before issues become critical

 It's important to note that it is NOT a mandatory benefit, so not all workplaces offer it💡 #WorkplaceMentalHealth #HR #Recruitment

Small businesses, listen up! 🚀 Here's why candidate experience matters for your recruitment success. Remember, every interaction counts! 💬 🗣️👩🏻💻

📉 Australia's unemployment rate remains low at 4%, presenting continuing challenges for employers in attracting and retaining skilled talent across industries. 🏢 💼 Talent shortages: With fewer job seekers available, employers face difficulties finding qualified candidates to fill vacancies, especially in industries with high-demand skills. Increased competition: Employers must make their job offers more attractive to stand out, as qualified talent has more options and higher expectations. Recruitment and retention difficulties: Low unemployment makes it harder for companies to attract new employees and retain existing ones, as workers have more job opportunities. Rising labour costs: Employers often need to increase wages and benefits to attract and retain employees, which can put pressure on profit margins, especially for small businesses. Potential decrease in productivity: Some organisations may need to settle for less-talented workers, potentially reducing overall company productivity. Need for innovative retention strategies: businesses must think beyond salary increases and consider offering better benefits, work-life balance and career growth opportunities to keep their employees. Wage inflation: With fewer available workers, employers may need to increase wages to compete for talent, potentially leading to wage inflation across the economy. #HR #Recruitment #WorkplaceCulture #Unemployment
