Informal Chat - Ali and Karl no 1

From Workplace Support to Family Support: Why EAPs Need Ollie Coaches

In this informal conversation, Ali Knowles, founder of Subconquest and creator of the Ollie Model, chats with Karl Bennett from the Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) about why workplace wellbeing needs to go beyond the employee and include the whole family.

They explore how children’s emotional struggles often affect parents at work, why traditional Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) may miss this connection, and how Ollie Coaches can provide practical, empowering support for families. It’s an honest discussion about the growing need to rethink workplace wellbeing and how supporting children and parents together can create healthier families and stronger workplaces.

This is the first of many chats that Ali and Karl are having.  They will be chatting about things that they are both seeing in the workplace and in the therapy room, sometimes this will just be a general discussion and sometimes it may be challenging the norm.
