Managers’ Guides to Confident EAP Conversations

Managers are often the first point of influence when it comes to employee wellbeing. These guides are designed to help you understand and reduce stigma, and lead confident, supportive conversations about Converge across your team.

Debunking EAP Myths

Employee Assistance Programs are one of the most effective, evidence-based ways to support wellbeing — yet misconceptions still prevent people from accessing help. This guide breaks down common myths, the facts behind them, and how you can address concerns with clarity and confidence.

Talking About EAP to Teams

Even the best wellbeing program only works if people understand it and feel comfortable using it. This guide outlines practical, authentic ways to talk about EAP, increase awareness, and encourage engagement across your team.

Promoting EAP

Despite growing awareness, many employees still hesitate to seek support. This guide helps leaders normalise help-seeking, reduce stigma, and create an environment where mental health conversations feel safe and supported.

Navigating Performance Reviews

Each year, managers and leaders must reflect on their journey and what they have achieved over the past financial year. Equally, they must take the time to reflect on their team’s performance and achievements. This aspect of people leadership can be tricky to navigate as some conversations can be harder than others.
