Ceridian has produced a mobile app version of its LifeWorks employee assistance programme (EAP) allowing staff to access the services on the move.
It has been developed to support and encourage employees who may be reluctant to access an EAP at work, at home or in person.
Ceridian UK head of LifeWorks Iain Campbell said: "Some employees are uncomfortable requesting support services in person or over the phone.
"Others simply prefer the convenience of accessing resources and tools online when they need them. We have worked hard to develop a mobile app formatted for easy navigation to meet the needs of the latter employee population so they can readily access resources while on the move.
"The LifeWorks mobile app ensures employees are able to access information and request the EAP services they need in a way that feels safe and comfortable for them."
It is believed to be the first mobile app of its kind in the UK and follows the launch in the USA earlier this year.
The new app is available to LifeWorks members for download to iPhone, Android and Blackberry smartphones.
