Benefits of Offering an EAP
Employers tell us they invest in EAPs for many reasons. They do so to help employees having personal problems, including those that impact the job, to increase workplace productivity and morale, to support retention and recruitment, and to reduce medical costs.
Troubled employees are at least 20% less productive than the average worker. In fact, a study published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimated that the cost of lost productivity to only one disorder, major depression, is over $31 billion annually.
EAPs are a proven, cost effective solution to many of the problems employers face today. Research shows that each dollar invested in an EAP saves the employer $5.00-$16.00.
EAPs can reduce sick leave usage by 33%, work related accidents by 65%, workers' compensation claims by 30%, lost time by 40%, grievances by 50%, and time spent on supervisor reprimands by 74%.
