Why EAP?
Leading companies know that human resources are their most valuable asset. In order for an organization to have a winning edge in today's marketplace, employees must be performing at their best. Unfortunately, studies show that an estimated 20% of employees have concerns affecting their job performance. As these employees tend to have higher absenteeism, more grievances, more disability claims, poor morale, and impacted workmanship, productivity and profitability for the organization can be affected.
What the Business Community Is Saying
"If a healthy workplace includes the notion that workers' perceptions, attitudes, and feelings are causally related to their work performance behaviors, then these psychological elements are fundamental to creating a healthy worker and a healthy workplace. Employers concerned about prudent management, due diligence, and standards of care need, therefore, to understand that their responsibilities may well include "social" and "psychological" dimensions of workplace health." Canadian Council on Integrated Healthcare
"The foundation for the sustainable performance of individuals...is the state of well-being in the ranks of both labour and management as a condition, even pre-condition for the sustainable performance of the organization itself. In the new economy, mental health is the ultimate productivity weapon." Business and Economic Roundtable of Mental Health
"We believe business must advance the cause of mental health for business reasons...it is good for our customers, our suppliers, and our employees whose wellbeing we are fundamentally interested in." Hershell Ezrin, CEO of GPC International
