Employers have EAP’s to accomplish some or all of the following goals:

• Comply with drug-free workplace and work force laws.
• Reduce costs of health care, accidents and the costs of workers compensation claims.
• Increase work productivity through less absenteeism and lost work time.
• Decrease employee turnover.
• Provide an alternative to firing.
• Compete with other employers who offer EAP benefits.
• Decrease work loads of supervisors who cannot and should not assume the role of a professional counselor.
• Be known as a caring employer.

An EAP represents an investment in an enterprises most valuable resources-the employees. Employers describe the following quantitative benefits:

• A decrease of up to 60% in absenteeism and lost time.
• A decrease of up to 75% in lost time of co-workers and supervisors in discussions of personal problems.
• Increased productivity; decrease in unwanted turnover..
• Fewer workers compensation claims.
• A long term reduction of up to 34% in medical benefits claims for physical problems is another benefit. (There is frequently a short-term increase in the use of mental health and substance abuse benefits when an EAP is implemented.)
• Many organizations indicate that their return on investment in an EAP alone is as high as five-to-one. Most employers report at least a two-to-one return on the EAP investment, with added praise for the non-quantifiable benefits.
