A study of McDonnell Douglas Corporation noted a 4:1 return on investment.

Before deciding to buy an EAP for your team, please ask your organization:

  • Do you have many valuable staffs?

  • Does your team suffer from deadline or other pressures regularly? Does your firm have any assistance or aids in place?

  • Will 10% annual turnover create significant negative impacts?

  • For those staff who cannot be replaced in a short period of time, are they having the same salary range and benefits as similar position in other firms? If yes, how does your firm retain them?

 

If your answer is Yes to most of the questions, EAP may be an important step to take.
