Benefits of an EAP to an employer

Rising health care costs are forcing companies to make crucial decisions regarding the health care coverage of their employees.  Your organization and other companies have had to make difficult decisions regarding higher premiums and deductibles.

Insurance costs in general have soared over the past years with some segments increasing at faster rates than others, specifically mental health.  A U.S. Chamber of Commerce survey cites employees who are impaired due to substance abuse or mental health issues collect 3 times the sick pay and use 9 times the health insurance benefits compared to non-impaired employees.

Costs associated with recruitment and training replacements in employee turnover have been estimated up to $50,000.

Our EAP administration services can benefit your organization in the following ways:

• Reduce absenteeism and workplace accidents
• Help decrease health plan costs associated with stress-related illness
• Reduce incidence of inappropriate and expensive treatment
• Improve morale among supervisors and managers
• Decrease employee turnover thereby improving effectiveness of employee recruitment
