Now that the holidays, the Super Bowl and other beginning of the year events are behind us, it's a great time to remind employees about their EAP benefit. While we encourage promoting the EAP throughout the year—and for our Productivity and Profit customers, we provide bi-monthly newsletters on a wide range of topical matters to distribute to your employees to help in that effort—oftentimes employees forget about the sheer breadth of ways that their EAP can provide assistance to themselves and their family members, including:
- Face-to-face counseling sessions
- Unlimited telephone counseling, 24/7/365
- No-cost chemical dependency assessments and referrals
- No-cost consultations with lawyers and financial planners with discounted rates for ongoing issues
- No-cost debt and credit counseling, plus assistance with issues surrounding identity theft
- Robust Work & Life and Legal & Financial Resources websites
So, we encourage you to take this time to spread the word! We just sent Productivity and Profit customers their first employee newsletter of 2012, promoting the many ways in which their EAP can support them, and how easy it is to access a wealth of resources. You can pass it along, or use the articles in other communications, on your intranet site, or any other way that works best for you and your employees.
And, for all of our customers, we've attached PDFs of our Your EAP flyer and poster (English and Spanish versions) to use to promote your EAP benefit. If you need additional wallet cards, please contact your account services manager.
Don't forget to let your managers and supervisors know about our ongoing "EAP in Supervision" monthly webinars. They're invaluable for new managers, and provide a good refresher for current managers, as well. The registration links are to the left.
