In the past twenty-five years, many companies have recognized the value of offering an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). EAPs focus on offering assessment, referral, training, and consultation to individual employees. An active EAP provides a proven benefit of reducing time lost and increasing productivity. Increasingly, employers want to be more proactive in dealing with problems by focusing attention also on the workplace system itself. Through providing consultation, management development, team building and facilitation the organization can improve itself - leading to a reduction in workplace conflict, job stress, and job dissatisfaction and to an increase in employee satisfaction, productivity, and retention.. This desire on the part of employers to work on workplace systems has led to the creation of Organizational Enhancement Programs (OEPs). A successful OEP provides a collaborative mechanism for helping an organization foster an healthy workplace environment that not only supports the health and wellness of all employees, but is aligned with organizational goals and objectives. The Consulting Group can provide an integrated OEP/EAP with a full range of both individual and organizational services. We can also offer a stand alone OEP for companies with an existing EAP in place. |
