Requirements for EAPs in Cambodia
Because we are not tied to one EAP solutions provider, we can work with companies of all sizes.
Traditional EAP solutions providers target large multinationals, we can provide EAPs to companies in Cambodia starting at just 20 employees. Though we generally recommend having 50+ employees to maximize value.
Types of Companies who Implement EAPs
Mental health services in Asia are growing but remain somewhat taboo, making confidential support crucial for employees to access help without stigma. In Cambodia, EAPs are still a very new thing. They’re more prevalent in major markets like Hong Kong or Singapore but are picking up steam across SE Asia.
Companies adopting EAPs often include modern organizations with progressive benefits, mental health advocates, multinational corporations, and those in high-stress industries.
Final Thoughts
Investing in EAPs in Hong Kong isn’t just about tackling workplace challenges; it’s about cultivating a resilient, engaged, and high-performing workforce. By offering comprehensive support, you can ensure your team thrives in the city’s dynamic business environment—achieving the perfect balance of productivity and peace of mind.
