When EAP services first entered the market, they offered only short-term counseling and referral services. Today, EAPs offer numerous additional services. For example, resource and referral searches help locate solutions for common needs. Your employees may spend time searching for child or adult care, home repair services, education options, health and wellness resources, or even pet services. Their EAP will quickly and efficiently guide them to the desired resources. Employees can take advantage of consultations with experienced professionals to address difficult and unexpected situations and problems. Also, learning and development services increase employee knowledge and skills.

Who benefits from EAP services?

EAPs provide benefits for both employees and employers. Employees and their families benefit by having a cost-free support resource for work and life issues. Employers benefit from higher productivity when employees are healthy, happy, and functioning well at work.
