What Are Employee Assistance Services Programs?
- EAPs are work-based intervention services aimed at the early identification and / or resolution of both work and personal problems that may adversely affect performance.
- Issues that commonly impede optimal performance include stress, depression, interpersonal conflict, relationship difficulties and substance misuse.
- EAPs are provided by external consultants who are independent of the company.
- The cost of stress alone includes absenteeism, decreased efficiency and productivity, increased accidents, staff conflict, staff turnover, lowered morale and increased compensation claims.
- An effective EAP is tailored to meet the needs of the organisation. PRA will liaise with your key staff to develop a program that best meets your needs.
