Employee and Family Assistance Programs
Our cornerstone
At any given time, approximately 25% of employees are suffering from substance abuse, depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship problems. By addressing these problems through an EFAP, research indicates that an organization can gain significant cost savings as a result of:
- reduced absenteeism
- reduced claims under insured benefit programs, including weekly indemnity, long-term disability, and pharmaceuticals
- reduced job site accidents
- improved productivity, and
- enhanced morale
