FAQs
EAPs offer professional counseling and referral services to help employees cope with stressful life problems. The goal is to help people through the problem solving process quickly and working productively again. Employees feel cared for and companies reap the benefits of improved employee morale, reduced employee turnover, increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, decreased health care utilization and improved quality of work. Implementing an EAP isn’t only a nice thing to do...it makes good business sense.
Low Cost:
The national average cost of an EAP is $30 per employee, per year, some as high as $45. Tri-State REACH EAP is available for only $18 per employee per year. (That’s $1.50 per employee per month).
Ideal:
Employees may not want their employers to know that they are struggling with personal problems. Some people still fear that they will be viewed as “weak” if they reach out for help. The longer a problem goes unaddressed the more likely it will worsen. Employees are more eager to utilize EAPs when they can do so on an immediate, anonymous and confidential basis. With telephonic counseling there is no need to make an appointment or identify themselves, instead they can reach out for help at their convenience and comfort of their own home.
Companies may be paying double or even triple the cost for an EAP that provides face to face counseling, a service you are already providing for your employees through the behavioral health/mental health portion of their health insurance. The best employee assistance programs are those which are utilized. Employees are more apt to utilize an employee assistance program when they feel assured of their anonymity and confidentiality. The immediate access of our EAP also prevents scheduling hassles and waiting periods for those who are in crisis.
