EAPASA Eduweek 2022 Theme:
Uniting for Trans4mation
#eapsunite
EAPs are nation-building agents, assisting one employee and one company at a time. 2022 marks EAPASA’s 25th anniversary – 25 years in which EAPASA has been working with its members, partners and stakeholders, uniting the employee assistance industry as nation-building agents with a mission to assist and empower employees in the South African workplace. In order to keep pace with change the industry has had to reinvent itself and EAP as a workplace resource in South Africa, as more traditional views of life, health, wellness, work and relationships have fallen away.
We remain united in our purpose, dedicated to building and transforming the EAP industry in South Africa while maintaining its ethics and standards. Through providing an opportunity for learning, collaboration and keeping up to date with changes and innovations, Eduweek is a vehicle that unites the EAP industry, having a significant impact on leading and educating EAPs in employee wellness practices.
Please be invited to participate in Eduweek as a contributor who helps to educate your peers and leads the debate in thinking about, and innovating, employee health and wellness.
To make ongoing expansion and innovation a reality it is important that EAP, as an industry:
- are united in purpose #EAPasone #EAPhand-in-hand #EAPunited
- are dedicated to both building the EAP industry and maintaining it's standards #EAPbuildingtogether #EAPgrowth&quality

2. Contribute to solutions and alternatives with respect to up-to-date and innovative interventions, assessments, and referrals as these pertain to employee/family identification, addictions and behavioural health in the workplace, with application to workplace issues resulting from:
- Burnout

These include the ageing employee, disability inclusion and LGBTQIA+, which require cultural competence and expanded knowledge, skill and recognition of an ever-evolving and diverse workplace. It is an area where the EA role encompasses working with the individual, as well in providing education and support for the manager and co-workers.
5. Demonstrate EA role and EA service delivery in responding to, steering, and leading opportunities to advance workplace culture through EA knowledge and experience with diverse / special constituencies in the workplace, through disruptive event preparedness, and through an understanding of workplace, regulatory, and social norms.

THE THEME

The dynamic transition from square to circle in the Eduweek 2022 logo illustrates the concept of transformation.
The logo’s multi-coloured palette, beyond making it accessible and inviting to members, communicates Eduweek’s multi-faceted programme as it encompasses transformation in four areas:
Expansion
New challenges
Existing challenges
Industry maintenance/self-care
By design, the logo’s colour palette starts in the indigo/violet range – starting with colours that signify introspection – and ends with green to denote expansion and innovation.
