Employee Assistance Provider
Supporting employers and caring for their employees’ mental and physical well being beyond the workplace.
What is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides employees of a company with professional and confidential counselling services. An EAP is offered as part of a benefits package to an employee.
Consider the following information gathered from Statistics Canada:
- In any given week, approximately 500,000 Canadian workers will not go to work due to mental health issues.
- Mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression, account for 30% of short-term and long-term disability claims and 70% of disability costs.
- Employers lose more than 6 billion dollars annually in lost productivity, absenteeism, presentism and turnover.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an easy way to support your employees to resolve work, health, and life issues. Various studies have shown that stress, anxiety and depression impact an employee’s productivity in the workplace. Employee Assistance Programs provide a means for employees to seek help early, rather than allowing issues to escalate to the point where short or long-term disability may be required. Early and effective support can help return the employee to his or her optimal performance.
