How many companies have EAPs?
In the US, over 97% of companies with more than 5,000 employees have EAPs. 80% of companies with 1,001 – 5,000 employees have EAPs. 75% of companies with 251 – 1,000 employees have EAPs. A 2008 National Study of Employers following ten years trends related to U.S. workplace policies and benefits shows that the EAP industry continues to grow, with 65% of employers providing EAPs in 2008, up from 56% in 1998. The US has the most saturated market for EAPs in the world. However, there is an ever increasing appreciation of the value of employee assistance in other countries, and the number of EAPs worldwide is growing.
