An EAP can provide your employees with easy-to-access mental health support
With one in two employees stressed in their daily lives, the need for mental health support has never been more critical. Mercer Marsh Benefits’s Global Strategic Alliance with Workplace Options offers workforce access to confidential mental health resources and support.
Why your organization should offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides your workforce with access to confidential mental health resources and support. Investing in an EAP is an essential step toward creating a supportive and resilient workforce and demonstrating your commitment to their well-being.
An EAP is key to supporting your workforce’s mental health
All over the world, mental health needs are high but often coverage and access are limited.

The graphic shows key global findings from Mercer Marsh Benefits’ (MMB) People Risk 2024 survey report of HR and Risk managers and the MMB Health Trends 2025 insurer survey report: 1 in 2 employees feel stressed in everyday life; 1 in 3 HR and Risk managers are worried about emotional well-being programs being insufficient given the growing need for support; 1 in 2 insurers globally do not cover outpatient mental health care (e.g. counseling/ therapy support); <2% of countries health care budgets are dedicated to mental health. In some countries it’s less than $1 per person; 6 in 10 people anticipate a stormy or turbulent outlook of global catastrophe in the next 10 years (e.g. climate change, geopolitical conflicts, civil unrest, etc.)
