Is Your EAP Invisible? Then You're Not Seeing ROI.
| |
|
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are structured to help employers create a healthier, more productive workplace by providing employees with resources that allow them to more fully focus at work. And, they're a smart, affordable investment-when utilized.
If your EAP is invisible to employees, human resources and executive leadership, then you're not seeing its potential return on investment (ROI). "High-touch" EAPs, visible within organizations, result in dollars saved through reduction of lawsuits, absenteeism, health care costs and more.
Here are a few questions every organization should ask their EAP:
- Does the EAP provide supervisory trainings to help managers deal with employee issues and understand when to refer employees to the EAP?
- Does the EAP conduct orientations with employees?
- Are employees provided with the EAP call number? Website address?
- Does the EAP send out fliers and emails promoting services to employees?
- Does HR get regular reports on the number of employees using the EAP and the types of issues they are asking for help with, while maintaining employee confidentiality?
- Does the EAP make on-site visits in an emergency to help mange crisis situations and conduct groups as needed?
- Is the EAP integrated with other benefits inside your organization, such as wellness programs, to increase participation?
Putting together a simple checklist with questions like these can help you evaluate whether you and your employees are getting the most from your EAP.
