Organisations continue to operate in a competitive climate where there are constant demands to reduce costs and increase productivity - whilst also attracting, retaining and supporting good employees.
An EAP from Employee Advisory Resource can address this dual challenge of increasing productivity and performance whilst supporting the wellbeing of your employees.
Our Employee Assistance Programmes can help your organisation:
- By providing a strong degree of protection against stress litigation (2002 Hatton case)
- Actually save money on employee-related costs - see Return on Investment
- Reduce insurance premiums
- Contain health insurance costs
- Demonstrate your commitment to providing a duty of care to employees
- Quickly and easily introduce a comprehensive, core benefit for all employees
- Position yourself as an ‘Employer of Choice’
- Attract and retain high-quality employees
- Improve morale and commitment
- Enhance performance and productivity
- Reduce sick leave and absenteeism
- Reduce interpersonal conflict and disciplinary/grievance procedures
- Reduce work-related accidents and sickness rates
- Develop the skills of managers and supervisors
- Free-up Human Resources, Occupational Health, Union and management time by relieving these teams of the obligation to be non-professional counsellors
- Encourage organisational learning through reporting on key utilisation trends
In the 2002 landmark case about stress in the workplace (Hatton), the presiding judge reinforced the compelling case for introducing an EAP, by concluding that:
an employer who offers a confidential advice service, with appropriate counselling or treatment services, is unlikely to be found in breach of duty of care.
EAPs are now offered by a third of UK employers as a core benefit
