Employee Assistance Programs vary greatly by provider, and the most notable features of an EAP are often lost when embedded in another service. The perceived cost savings associated with these programs are negated if the lack of services results in an increase in long-term costs such as productivity, engagement, and retention, not to mention, the
impact on healthcare, absenteeism, and liability.
Remember, EAPs are designed to serve as both an employee resource and a management tool. If an EAP does not include resources for HR and managers such as account management, management consultation, formal management referrals, and critical incident response, an organization is only receiving a fraction of the benefit.
To ensure you are receiving the key features of a full-service EAP, use the following checklist:
24/7 Clinical Support:
An EAP should provide access to clinicians 24/7 through a toll-free 1-800 number. Clinical issues should not be serviced after hours by customer service reps who lack the clinical training needed to help individuals when they are in crisis.
Face-to-Face Counseling:
EAPs offer telephonic and
video counseling out of convenience, but the option of confidential face-to-face counseling is ideal especially when dealing with substance abuse, child and family issues, marital problems, etc.
Licensed, Experienced Clinicians:
An EAP should have Licensed, Master’s-level clinicians in their network. Confirm experience levels, as many EAPs have reduced the number of years of post-graduate experience or use provisionally licensed clinicians.
Management Consultations:
An EAP should offer unlimited management consultations to HR and management to support them when dealing with problematic workplace issues.
Formal Management Referrals:
Performance issues in the workplace can be addressed through formal management referrals which often result in improved performance and job retention.
Critical Incident Response:
EAPs provide critical incident response in the event of a crisis in the workplace, from a company downsizing to the death of an employee. EAPs should be available to coach leadership and provide onsite counseling to help the organization through the crisis.
Work-Life Services:
EAPs offer online and telephonic support to help address daily living issues, such as child care and elder care, as well as the increasingly popular legal and financial services.
Promotion of Services:
EAPs should be promoted monthly to employees through flyers, webinars, or newsletters. In addition, print materials such as brochures should be available for distribution, and orientations should be facilitated to make employees aware of the benefit.
Reporting:
EAPs should provide quarterly utilization reports. Reporting will not breach confidentiality, but instead provide HR and management with overall trends specific to their organization.
Account Management:
EAPs should assign an account manager who proactively reaches out to HR and management and is available to discuss utilization and offer customized solutions to address each workplace’s unique needs.
