October 3 through October 9 is Mental Illness Awareness Week. 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year, so it’s important that we treat our mental and emotional wellbeing with the same attention we give our physical health. Wingstop is proud to offer multiple ways in which our team members can support their overall wellbeing as we continue to navigate through new challenges brought on by the pandemic.
Employee Assistance Program
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available to all Wingstop team members who are enrolled in the company health insurance. One call puts you in touch with a clinician, counselor, mediator, lawyer, or financial adviser who could positively impact your life. They are trained to understand your concerns so they can connect you with the consultant or service best able to help you:
- Address depression, anxiety, or substance use issues
- Improve relationships at home or work
- Manage stress
- Work through emotional issues or grief
- Assistance with legal and financial concerns
