Project Title: Supporting the application of an SGBA lens in support of psychologically healthy workplaces: Employee Assistance Program stream
Project description: Both mental health and gender issues in the workplace are currently in the spotlight in Canada as well as internationally. Accordingly, it is a priority for Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) to systematically consider sex and gender (as well as intersecting identities such as age, sexual orientation, and ethnicity) in policies, procedures and services. Using a process map of Health Canada’s EAP as a guide for a focused literature search, this study identified priorities for action in four cross-cutting areas: 1) targeted outreach to groups with low rates of help-seeking and/or high rates of mental health problems, such as men and LGBTQ individuals; 2) capacity development and training to ensure that the EAP workforce has the knowledge and skills to provide sensitive, safe, and effective counselling to diverse clients; 3) digital EAP services to meet service delivery preferences beyond face-to-face counselling; and 4) performance and quality improvement of both the EAP process and equity in the distribution of EAP outcomes.
