EAPs DEMONSTRATE STRONG & CONSISTENT RETURN ON INVESTMENT
- Most businesses expect EAPs to have a positive ROI in the range of two to five dollars in return for every one dollar invested. For example, a 1992 study by Florida's Orange County Public Schools demonstrated a savings of over $3.00 for every 1.00 spent for their EAP.
- McDonnell Douglas's EAP serves about 100,000 employees and 250,000 dependents and estimates a 4 to 1 return on investment.
- The National Council for Alcohol & Drug Dependency reports that companies, on average, save between $5 and $16 for each dollar they invest in an EAP -- from improved productivity and safety performance, as well as reduced turnover.
- According to various research reports gathered by the Employee Assistance Program Association (EAPA), the EAP industry trade group, every dollar spent on a full-service EAP saves employers between $4 and $14.
