Instep is an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and Behavioural Healthcare provider affiliated with The Giggles to broaden the scope of services offered to our clients. The Giggles Laughter Workshops and EAP are complementary programmes and are ideally used in conjunction with each other to strengthen the effectiveness of both services.

Instep, based in Wellington with offices throughout New Zealand, offers solutions to companies and organisations who wish to provide the most cost effective and satisfactory behavioural support services for their employees. This can be in the form of consultancy for managers and supervisors and/or counselling and other treatment services for troubled staff. Instep focuses on performance issues and case management services for employees from the workplace through treatment and back to work.

The Giggles programmes focus on unique stress management techniques combined with positive psychology which enhance wellness at an organisational level by bringing a high, positive emotional state to the body and mind, resulting in deep relaxation which eliminates stress and improves productivity and morale. EAP programmes concentrate on substance abuse in the workplace, depression, family dysfunction and lifestyle difficulties.

Links have been established between the physical and mental health behaviours and the outcomes of poor health and/or behavioural choices. We believe that together, we can help companies retain valued employees in a safer work environment by making available a wide range of resources designed to help employees overcome any setbacks they may encounter.

Benefits of running concurrent EAP and Laughter Workshops
  • Linking The Giggles and EAP services can reinforce the holistic message to employees about health, behaviour and risk interventions.
  • Improve the health and productivity of employees.
  • The utilisation for EAP will increase through a wellness initiative because there is less stigma attached to wellness rather than EAP.
  • Health data between the two programmes can be shared thus providing effective case management to each employee.
