EAP COST EFFECTIVENESS

Employees challenged by emotional, financial, and legal troubles are absent more often, utilize more healthcare benefits, file higher rates of disability claims and grievances, have more workplace accidents, create supervisory problems, disrupt their work group, spoil morale, and are more likely to abuse substances.

Each troubled employee costs his or her employer at least $5,000 per year--an additional $3,000 if the employee has clinical depression.

Organizations are in a unique position to help employees and their families deal with stressful life events.
