Providing an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
What is an Employee Assistance Program, and why should smaller companies and businesses offer one?
As a business, are you affected by productivity issues, absenteeism, work quality, wasted potential, and workplace safety? As a small business, these things may have an outsized impact on your ability to function when employees call out, and other employees are forced to step up to cover for them.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a way for you to provide confidential wellness assessments and coaching to your employees, free of charge to them.
An EAP shows your employees that you’re dedicated to them by providing a resource that can make them feel more well-adjusted and healthy.
By investing in the well-being of employees, your company can create a healthier, more productive, and safer work environment, minimizing potential risks and liabilities. Providing this assistance to employees is significantly less expensive than the cost to hire and onboard new staff.
I can provide you with a cost-effective program that supports your people with confidential coaching in areas such as:
- Managing stress and anxiety
- Recognizing and reducing depression
- Improving self esteem
- Overcoming imposter syndrome
- Accepting and coping with grief
- Mastering burnout
My EAP practice uses many of the same results-based approaches from my individual and group work, resulting in great success with your employees.
