Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) have become an increasingly effective tool to:
- Attract and retain top talent,
- Manage health care costs, and
- Enhance employee productivity and engagement.
EAPs help employees cope with day-to-day matters and life events – from acute or complex issues such as emotional well-being and addiction to assistance with college searches, finding the right daycare or financial planner. An effective EAP provides 24/7 access to emergency response services including on-site counseling in the case of workplace crises or other traumatic workplace events as well as periodic training for managers and topical “lunch and learn” sessions.
Our focus on EAPs integrates effective health and productivity tools to address health and wellness topics such as smoking cessation, weight management, general health, stress management, and health risk assessments. Other important work-life features include family issues such as adoption matters, adult care and child care as well as daily life issues such as pet care, travel, special events, automotive and home improvement.

An effective EAP can help you create a healthier, more productive workplace by providing employees with valued resources. Employees benefit by achieving better work-life balance and employers benefit by decreased absenteeism, presenteesim and higher morale in the workplace.
