Supporting your team’s mental health.
Workplace pressures, organisational change, and personal challenges can all have a significant impact on employee wellbeing. Our employee assistance programmes (EAPs) provide staff with timely access to expert psychological support, helping them manage difficulties before they escalate and fostering a more supportive working environment
Oakdale’s EAP services are tailored to the needs of your organisation and can include:
Why staff wellbeing matters.
A mentally healthy workforce isn’t just “nice to have”; it’s essential for organisational success. Research shows that:
Improve retention
Businesses with strong wellbeing programmes see up to 50% lower staff turnover.
Minimise absence
Effective mental health support can reduce sickness absence by 30–40%.
Drive productivity
Every £1 invested in mental health interventions delivers an average return of £5 in improved productivity and reduced absence.
By proactively supporting your teams, you’re not just improving individual wellbeing; you’re creating a more engaged, resilient, and high-performing organisation.
Therapy isn't just for the tough times.
Therapy isn't only for when life feels overwhelming. It can give people space to reflect, understand themselves better, and develop healthier ways of managing the everyday pressures of work and life.
Providing access to psychological support can help employees build resilience, strengthen relationships, and address difficulties early - supporting well-being before challenges become crises.
Workplace needs assessment.
Oakdale’s workplace needs assessments help employees feel supported and work well in their roles. We support people who may be struggling at work due to stress, health, change, or different ways of working.
No diagnosis is needed. Our focus is on understanding what will help in practice and putting the right support in place so employees can work comfortably and confidently.
What to expect.
All assessments are conducted online by a qualified psychologist and include:
Review
Review of your role requirements and any relevant documentation to ensure the assessment is tailored to your responsibilities and working environment.
Questionnaires
Background questionnaires are completed by both the employee and their manager or HR to gather a comprehensive understanding of needs, strengths, and workplace context prior to assessment.
Assessment interview
A one-to-one assessment interview will take place and last approximately 1 hour.
Recommendations
Our assessment journey provides clear, practical recommendations that translate findings into actionable steps, supporting meaningful progress.
Written report
Employees will receive a full written report with tailored strategies and recommendations. Employers will receive a concise summary report focused on reasonable adjustments and workplace support.
How to fund your workplace wellbeing.
Our workplace wellbeing support can be accessed through several routes, depending on the needs of the employee and organisation.
Access to Work
Access to Work is a government-funded scheme that can provide support for employees whose mental health or health condition affects their work. Employees can apply directly, with or without employer support, and approved funding can be used to access agreed wellbeing support.
Employer referral
Employers can refer employees directly to us as part of their wellbeing provision, reasonable adjustments, or absence support. Support is tailored to individual and organisational needs.
Private funding
Employees may also choose to self-fund support privately, including while Access to Work applications are in progress.
