HOW DOES AN EAP SAVE THE ORGANIZATION MONEY?
All organization have troubled employees - A recent extensive survey found that about half of all American adults have a significant mental illness at least once during their lifetimes and nearly a third of them have one in any given year.

-Substance abusing workers are:
-absent and late three times more often
-have 3.6 times more accidents
-are 5 times more likely to file a workers compensation

On average, each employee with depression will cost his/her employer $3000
per year due to lost days on the job and reduced productivity.
EAPs reach these employees earlier by:
-making free, confidential counseling easy to access

-by training managers to identify, confront and refer
appropriately, at an early stage without getting over-involved
EAPs have been shown to return $3 - $7 for every $1 invested
