I hope this question is appropriate, but I'm genuinely looking for some honest advice. It's difficult to get any good insight that I can trust.
Essentially, I consult in the space/gap between a business's HR section and the EAP psychologist. For example, HR staff recommending a staff member to go see the organisation's external provider, however not all complex staff problems/issues mean that staff member needs referral to an independent psych for support. They may, for example, just need to air their grievances to an independent party (like myself) get an alternate narrative and be monitored. This is were I fit in.
My question to the buzzers is, after years of doing this I'd like to understand from a HR perspective the benefits for HR staff or the challenges to using this type of intervention? I ask as it's always difficult to get HR to understand the benefits of what I do. Maybe it's my delivery? Any insight would be grateful.
