The Ideal Benefit
Because the Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) improves employees'
health, well-being, and performance, it is a program that effectively
pays for itself, making it truly an ideal benefit.
An EAP provides free, short-term, confidential counseling to
help employees cope with job tensions, personal and family pressures,
alcohol and substance abuse, and a number of other life issues.
By enabling employees to better manage such concerns, an EAP helps
reduce staff accidents, absenteeism, lateness, and turnover. It
also helps lower stress-based illness and costly hospitalization.
Because they're so cost-effective, EAPs are now utilized by
the great majority of Fortune 500 companies as well as an increasing
number of small firms and municipalities.
