From legal information and debt advice to personal counselling, menopause coaching and support with addictive behaviours, each part of the programme is designed to help employees navigate every aspect of life on and off the job.

The service is available in three tiers - Wellbeing Foundations, Wellbeing Plus and Total Wellbeing. Each provides a ‘comprehensive and unrivalled’ level of services to provide a unique level of cover to help hospitality employees thrive.

Camilla Woods, services director at Hospitality Action, said: “We’re thrilled to launch our best-in-class EAP, designed to provide invaluable support to hospitality businesses, employees and their families. Two hundred thousand hospitality workers across the UK already have access to our EAP, and this enhanced service will enable us to offer a wider range of support to improve the lives of even more people in our industry.

“Our goal is to assist every hospitality employer with prioritising the wellbeing of their teams and to build a culture of wellbeing that benefits the whole team. We have created this affordable, high-quality programme so that they can do exactly that - the future of our vibrant but demanding industry depends upon it.”
