Unlock your employees’ potential with Mentor’s new Employee Assistance Programme

In today’s fast-paced work environment, employees face constant pressures related to work-life balance, mental health, and personal challenges. With an estimated sickness rate of 7.8 days per employee,** 2023 saw the highest rate of sickness absence in a decade.

The need to support employees beyond their salary package is critical for fostering a productive, engaged, and healthy workforce.
