What is the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in the Canada Benefits Package, and How Can I Access It?
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a key component of the Canada benefits package offered through Remote People. Delivered via Manulife’s Counselling Services benefit, the EAP provides a range of confidential, short-term counseling and resources for employees and their eligible dependents. These services are designed to support mental health and wellness, family needs, lifestyle guidance (including addiction and nutrition support), and work/life transitions. Additionally, the program includes online self-help courses and tools tailored to local needs, such as childcare and eldercare resources. These services are available at no additional cost to employees and can be accessed through the Manulife Plan Member Secure Site.
How to Access EAP Services
To utilize the EAP services, employees can log in to the Manulife Plan Member Secure Site. This platform provides direct access to all available resources and tools under the EAP.
Locating EAP Details in Plan Documents
For more detailed information about the EAP, refer to the Manulife plan brochures. Both the Basic and Enhanced plan brochures include a dedicated section on the EAP. While specific page numbers may vary, you can find these details under the section labeled "Employee Assistance Program." By leveraging these resources, employees can access valuable support for a variety of personal and professional challenges.
