Important legislative considerations

The Health Safety & Employment Act and the Accident Compensation Act require  you as a manager (as agents of your employer) to identify and eliminate potential hazards – this includes workplace stress, mental and emotional health and safety.

EAPworks programme features are designed as a resource to assist you to meet this requirement.

EAPworks ensures that all EAP clinicians and practitioners meet the following minimum criteria:

• Fully qualified in relevant profession (e.g. psychology, counselling, social work, careers, financial, legal etc)
• Full or applicant membership of a professional organisation/association (e.g. NZAC, NZAP,CPANZ, NZPS, NZCCPsych)
• A minimum of two years work related experience
• In receipt of regular supervision
• Adhere to EAPworks’ Code of Ethics
