workplace counseling

Employee mental support

Workplace counseling is professional support provided to employees to help them deal with personal or work-related problems that may affect their job performance or wellbeing.

Companies often offer it through employee assistance programs, covering issues like stress, conflict with colleagues, or difficulties balancing work and home life.

After the layoffs, management brought in workplace counseling for the remaining staff.

The sessions are typically confidential and short-term, aimed at getting employees functioning well rather than providing deep therapy.
