ESI Employee Assistance Group EAP
ESI Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers more benefits for employees and more services for managers, resulting in higher employee engagement and enhanced productivity. We serve 2,100+ employers and 1,500,000+ members across the US and Canada. With a depth of experience in virtually every industry, government and public safety, health care, education and non-profit organizations, our services have earned a 98+% member satisfaction and client renewal rate over the last decade. Each year 20% of your work force suffers from a personal problem that inhibits productivity – theirs, yours, that of their co-workers. It might be a child in trouble, an aging parent needing care, an unpaid debt, or a substance abuse problem. The result is unplanned absence, work distraction, and diminished productivity. A national study found that personal problems result in an average of 125 hours per employee annually of lost productivity. That translates to over $2,000 per employee per year. We conducted a study to measure our impact on lost productivity per employee, finding that ESI reduces lost time at work by more than 23%. ESI’s signature two-pronged approach includes: • An extensive menu of services for your employees to address their most pressing problems, as well as a broad array of life-enhancement benefits. • A suite of management tools and resources for you and your supervisors to help you to minimize, manage, contain, or prevent disruptive workforce problems.
