The robust array of EAP services is available to help individuals improve emotional well-being and address personal, family and life challenges while also supporting productivity and resilience in the workplace.

Through this collaboration, Voya will offer access to TELUS Health’s EAP experience, designed to provide mental and emotional well-being support through a combination of digital and human-centered services. The integration reflects Voya’s continued focus on evolving its workplace benefits offerings to meet the changing needs of today’s workforce.
