There is a demand of 24-hour Employee Assistance in the Department. Due to the nature of services offered by the Department of Health, the human capital is consistently exposed to high traumatic incidents resulting in mental health and psychosocial distress. The mental health and wellbeing of employees are critical attributes for effective service delivery. Outsourcing an external 24-hour EAP service will ensure access to mental health and psychosocial support for all employees around the clock, allowing opportunity for care-of-the-caregiver within the workspace.
