ABSTRACT:

We value our members and it is our goal to continuously empower and support both buyers and sellers of the EAP Services. To this end, in 2019, EAPA-SA embarked on a process of consultation with the wider South African EAP fraternity in an effort to establish a recognised and all-encompassing standard for EAP Service Providers. The Board is most grateful for all who were involved and contributed in this process, which has resulted in the compilation of a Service Provider Guide that has been officially instituted by the Association, with effect from January 2022.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Service Provider Guide: Differentiating EA Service Provider categories within EAPA-SA membership
2. The Guide:- Benefits from an industry perspective
   – Benefits from a user perspective
   – A tool to elevate industry professionalism and attract new EA buyers
