Benefits Think EAPs have never been more important to employees

Published 5 Min Read

There is a reason why most employers have an EAP and the data proves it again. EAPs have never been more relevant than they are today because employees and their families need mental health and work-life assistance. Most EAPs report that the volume of calls from employees requesting help has increased and that the nature of the calls is more severe. If your EAP is not being promoted enough to be highly visible, employees with complicated COVID-related issues could remain underserved.
