EAP
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
An EAP is designed to enhance the emotional and psychological wellbeing of an organisation's employees and their immediate family members.
The aim of an EAP is to provide preventative and proactive interventions for the early detection, identification and resolution of both work and personal problems that may adversely affect an employee's performance and wellbeing.
What are the benefits to your business of an excellent EAP?
Australian studies have found that EAPs can return between 5 and 10 times the employer's investment, which includes savings in absenteeism, presenteeism and turnover as well as improving engagement and morale.
There are also cost savings in regard to safety risks as well as the positive benefits of demonstrating employee concern and support.
An effective EAP is the foundation to a successful workplace health and productivity strategy. An EAP is also increasingly becoming an industry standard, and will make the business an employer of choice in recruitment.
It is a win for both organisations and their people.
