We know employees have an array of feelings about returning to the office; some are eager, while others are unsure and apprehensive. We know teams are returning to a space that may look and feel different to what they experienced in the past. At UVic, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive and welcoming environment.
LifeWorks, UVic’s EFAP provider, offers various counselling services to help you adjust to your return back to the office and supports your emotional health through this transition. Counsellors can assist with:
- Addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns related to the transition
- Changing routines and adapting to new expectations
- Navigating family challenges
Access EFAP by phone, web or mobile app. For telephone and in-person counselling: 1-844-880-9142.
This is a 100 per cent employer covered benefit for eligible employees and their dependents.
The EFAP benefit covers the cost of short-term counseling sessions. If longer term or more specialized counseling is required, you will be referred to a community resource that you can afford.
