Why EAP?

Why is an EAP right for your organization?

The reason is simple: anything that influences employee's well-being will have a direct impact on their work performance. Every employee's physical and emotional well-being is influenced by complex, interacting factors including:

• Nutritional Intake
• Medical Conditions
• Physical Fitness
• Substance use/misuse and addictive behaviours including gambling & internet use
• Engaging in high risk behaviours
• Personality, Temperament, and Attitude
• Social Support from Friends and Family
• Career/Occupational Satisfaction
• Financial Stability
• Effective Family Functioning
• Coping Strategies To Deal With Life Changes and Challenges
• Environmental factors both at work and at home

Hurst Place helps people get the help they need to reach their full potential and function better in their everyday life.

High Return on Investment:

Hurst Place recognises that budgetary constraints are a reality and organizations must ensure they are getting high value for every dollar spent.  Our programs and services focus on prevention and issue resolution at the earliest possible point. The goal is to help individuals and organizations solve problems in the most effective manner before they become personally or professionally costly. Consider some of the prevailing research:

The Canadian Mental Health Association estimates that 10% - 15% of employees have significant personal problems. The work performance of these employees is at least 35% below normal. The reduced productivity of troubled employees costs companies 3.5% - 5% of payroll.

If 5% of those employees used EAP the potential monetary savings would be 3.45% of payroll for reduced absenteeism and improved productivity from problem employees. The savings from these areas also justifies the cost of having an EAP. Canadian Mental Health Association statistics (2000)

The return on investment for every dollar invested in behavioural health is $5 to $7. Employee Assistance Program Association (EAPA).
