WELCOME TO YOUR EAP SERVICE
Who operates the EAP?
The EAP is not operated by AMGC. We have contracted external providers to provide confidential and independent counselling and employee support services for all employees and their immediate families...
Shane Warren & Associates are the independent EAP providers for the AMGC team.
How can the EAP help me?
The EAP is about short-term, solution-focused counselling. The counselling discussion is informal, friendly and focused on your needs. It can be face-to-face or over the phone or even through the internet, whichever is more convenient for you. The reason we have opted to include an EAP in our services is that at AMGC we believe counselling can help you to clarify a problem; identify a problem; or develop plans to approach difficult issues in a constructive manner.
Is my confidentiality guaranteed?
All EAP consultations are confidential and the EAP providers will not share information about you with anyone unless authorised to do so by you in writing. In the case of workplace issues, you may authorise your counsellor to discuss the matter with another person you nominate to help address the situation. At the beginning of your first session, you may be asked general questions and the EAP counsellor will record some of this information for statistical reporting purposes only. You will not be able to be identified with the information you provide. If you are concerned about this, you may ask your counsellor what information is used and for what purposes.
When can I access the EAP?
You can access the EAP in your own time. In this case, it is not necessary to advise your manager and no one will know. You may also request through your manager, to attend an appointment during work time. If approved, you should agree on a suitable time with your manager or supervisor before confirming a time with the EAP provider. It is not necessary to divulge the nature of the problem when requesting time to attend with your manager or supervisor.
Who can help me decide if the EAP is right for me?
You can discuss whether the EAP is right for you with your manager or a representative from the Human Resource Department. It is not necessary to divulge the nature of the problem when discussing the EAP with your manager, supervisor or Human Resource Department. You can also talk to the EAP provider to find out if the EAP program is right for you.
