Why do I need an EAP?
Gord Hart, Partner, Employee Benefits & Pensions
The employees of your organization drive your business and their performance is ultimately the determinant of your success. However, performance and productivity is compromised by problems that employees face in both their work and personal lives. Concerns related to stress, grief, substance abuse, health, legal, financial, and marital can have drastic impacts on an employee's ability to function at work and manage at home. Troubled or stressed employees are expensive in terms of chronic absenteeism, lower productivity and morale, and increased benefit costs.
What are the benefits of an EAP?
An EAP provides employees and employers with the support, knowledge, and resources they need to be healthy and successful.
An EAP:
• Increases employee productivity
• Decreases costs related to absenteeism
• Improves retention and recruitment as happy employees not only stay but they also become recruiters
• Improves loyalty as employees recognize their employer's commitment to their well-being
• Prevents problems from escalating through early identification of the issue
