Dollars and Sense: EAP Return on Investment
All organizations 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. Troubled employees cost money. For example, workers who abuse alcohol or other drugs are:
- absent and late three times more often;
- have 3.6 times more accidents;
- are 5 times more likely to file a worker’s compensation claim.
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 promoting EAP services in various ways
- 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. Click here for detailed information on studies that demonstrate EAP benefits.
EAPs have been shown to reduce:
- Sick leave by 33%
- Work- related accidents by 65%
- Workers’ comp claims by 30%
- Time spent on reprimands by 74%
- Medical insurance claims
Selecting an EAP
Compare services thoroughly and beware of “free” EAP services that are sometimes offered as part of an insurance product. A comprehensive EAP should offer a comprehensive array of services that addresses all of your employee and organizational needs.
