In business, a healthy "bottom line" means more than financial success. In today's changing economy, more than ever, success depends
on resilient, motivated, productive employees. Surveys show that employees who get help in resolving personal, work and family problems
tend to have more positive attitudes toward their employer and their job, and are more motivated, loyal, and effective at work.
Study after study shows that an Employee Assistance
Program yields significant benefits for a relatively low investment, often paying for itself in the first year.
The Aurora Employee Assistance Program has helped hundreds of businesses, large and small, design and deliver better access,
better service, and better results.
Seventy-percent of all cases are generally resolved within the EAP service models, resulting in significant savings for
employers and employees.
For every dollar they invest in an EAP, employers generally save anywhere from $5 to $16.
Employees identified and treated for depression require significantly fewer medical office visits (Health Insurance Plan of New
York, 1999).
Employees experiencing conflict between work and family demands are three times more likely to consider quitting.
Ninety-four percent of employers agree that employees feel greater loyalty to companies that are willing to help them with
personal problems.
A recent impact analysis for a client company demonstrated within one year:
a savings of more than $7,000 for cases resolved within the EAP, avoiding referral into billable treatment, and
potential turnover savings in excess of $428,000 resulting from 20 formal supervisory referrals to the EAP and the subsequent
retention of all 20 employees
The company's annual investment in EAP was just over $12,000.
