Each week, according to LifeWorks research, more than 500,000 Canadians miss work due to stress and personal challenges. Of course this impacts corporate bottom line. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are there to support the employees and promote engagement and wellness in the workplace.
Approximately 88% of the Fortune 500 companies have EAPs.
Employee Assistance Programs help save jobs and money by reducing employee turnover.
Employee Assistance Programs have been shown to increase morale since they focus on helping employees become productive again.
