Organizational Wellness

To boost productivity, businesses of all sizes are providing emotional health and well-being programs for their employees. Keeping employees healthy, emotionally productive, and focused on the job is a wise business investment.

Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are employer-sponsored programs designed to provide solution-focused brief counseling for employees who may be experiencing personal problems or behavioral attitudes that impact their work performance. Employees may voluntarily choose to take advantage of this confidential service to resolve personal problems. Supervisors may use EAP as a managerial tool by referring employees.

“When businesses don’t promote and enable a healthy solutions, we know the employees of the business are not going to be at the top of their game. That’s going to impact your ability to compete in the marketplace,” says Ron Goetzel, founding director of the Cornell University Institute for Health and Productivity Studies.

Organizational Wellness offers employee assistance programs, and organizational wellness programs to public companies, government entities, private firms, businesses and non-profit organizations.

When you invest $10 per employee, each month, “that is a wise investment when you consider that companies spend thousands in health insurance and hospitalization costs.” Goetzel estimates that for every single $10 a company invests in EAP & organizational wellness programs, the return on investment is a 3-to-1 savings in healthcare costs.

At Organizational Wellness, we customize and design the employee assistance program to suit the needs of your workplace environment. We know the positive impact an EAP can produce on your bottom line. When you offer an EAP to your employees you:

• Give them an avenue to resolve emotional and behavioral problems without jeopardizing their jobs
• Give support to employees who may be facing bereavement, a family break up, substance abuse, or other personal concerns.
• Put employees’ personal challenges and problems in the hands of trained and licensed professionals who are experience in EAP work.
• Let the manager or supervisor of the employee get back to the work they were hired to do.

We often find that after 6 counseling sessions or less, the employee is able to return to their work environment in a productive manner—without the mental distraction of their personal problem or disrupting their colleagues’ productivity.
