What are the cost saving benefits I can expect from implementing a broad brush EAP?
A number of research studies indicate EAPs improve work productivity by reducing the negative effects of personal problems at work. For example, EAPs can reduce absenteeism, tardiness, and lost time by intervening in and referring to treatment employees who have alcohol or drug problems. Through brief counseling, EAPs can reduce personal stress and help solve many relationship and situational problems which affect productivity. Worksite education and training activities can prevent problems before they happen.
