Employee Assistance Programs

Your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) saves you time and money by reducing absenteeism, turnover, conflicts, and low productivity. EAP's help to prevent or limit emotional crises that can incapacitate employees and bring your momentum to a halt. Emotional support, assessment, and referral, are all elements of a good EAP.

Using a Workplace Solutions EAP as part of your employee benefits package, helps to maintain your employee's focus and functioning on the job. It also demonstrates a commitment to helping your employees maintain good health.

You get these benefits for a very reasonable cost; about the price of a good lunch for your employees per year.

Most executives recognize that it is easier (and 6 X less expensive) to keep good employees than to find good replacements. Retaining your best employees is what our Employee Assistance Solutions is all about.

Employee counseling and supervisor consultation work together to provide your organization with cost-effective methods of addressing common employee issues that can slow your progress. An EAP is best thought of as an actively utilized partner. View our Electronic Brochure

Employee Counseling: Some emotional issues are not easily left at home. You need a convenient way of helping employees maintain productivity in a non-threatening manner. Counseling can take place in your office or ours. Third party confidentiality is often a major contributor to your employee's comfort with an EAP. We help to resolve those issues that can be addressed within the contracted number of sessions or, for longer-term issues, we help your employee connect with community resources for ongoing support. The stresses of life can degrade your staff's ability to be effective on the job. Brief counseling can be used as a voluntary benefit to your employees and as a tool for supervisors to address employee performance issues.

Supervisor Consultation: Many supervisors prefer consultation with others when addressing employee issues. Our Employee Assistance professionals provide an objective perspective and offer recommendations for employee performance improvement and growth Every supervisor has had the experience of wondering how to handle the emotional issues of an employee. Do you give them time off? Do you threaten them with job loss? Consulting with your EAP professional can give you options about how to use adaptive strategies to maintain good employees. Some of these might include temporarily restructuring work assignments or using Employee Counseling within a performance improvement plan. Supervisor consultation within your EAP makes your manager's job easier.
