Dog-assisted employee assistance programs in Ballarat
As a small business operating in regional Victoria, we understand the unique challenges that can arise for your team. Many business owners are wholly committed to cultivating positive mental health in their workplace but unsure where to start.
Our Puppy Pause program is designed uniquely for small and medium businesses in the region to provide a cost-effective package incorporating confidential employee assistance and workplace well-being visits. Regular payment options enable employers to spread the cost across the year whilst ensuring that mental wellbeing support is available when your staff needs it.
By offering a brief, confidential counselling option to your staff when they are facing challenges, employers can help staff get support when they need it. A strong, local relationship with your own employee assistance provider can also ensure your workplace has easy access to mental health support in the event of a workplace incident.
Incorporating regular workplace visits as part of your offering shows a commitment to positive workplace well-being that can reduce burnout and staff turnover.
Our animal-assisted corporate mental health package includes:
- Quarterly workplace wellbeing visits from a psychologist and therapy dogs
- Confidential counselling available to your staff when needed without a waitlist (either in person in Ballarat or via telehealth).
- Annual review of one mental wellbeing policy to ensure compliance with WHS laws for preventing psychosocial harm in the workplace.
Please have a look at our other Puppy Pause programs, Year 12 and aged care programs.
