Farrell says: I am grateful for this opporutnity to be of service to the forum at such a challenging time, when employers throughout Europe are struggling to safeguard employees’ health and wellbeing. Employee assistance professionals from the UK have much to learn from their European counterparts – and vice versa – and I am confident the EAEF will continue to play an important role in advancing the profession of employee assistance.’
