Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): Everything You Need to Know

Studies conducted in the field of Industrial and Organizational Psychology show that, today, the sustainability of organizations' profitability capacity largely depends on employees' performance and productivity.

Among the primary factors affecting employee performance and productivity are "Presenteeism," "Absenteeism," "Workplace Stress," "Work Engagement," and "Life Satisfaction."

According to the prepared report, an individual employee performing below their full capacity can cost an organization a financial loss equivalent to up to 400% of that employee's annual salary (CVCheck Report, 2017). Through the services it offers, the Employee Assistance System provides organizations with the benefit of minimizing financial losses that may arise due to low performance.

Presenteeism

This is the state in which an employee is physically present at the office but performs below their capacity due to health or personal problems. Presenteeism decreases by 50% in companies that offer an Employee Assistance Program.

Absenteeism

These are situations in which an employee exhibits behaviors such as frequently missing work or arriving late when they cannot cope with personal or physical problems. Absenteeism decreases by 58% in companies that offer an Employee Assistance Program.

Workplace Stress

This is the reaction arising from the challenges an employee experiences due to office conditions or the specific characteristics of the job, resulting in issues such as stress, depression, and burnout syndrome. Workplace stress decreases by 41% in companies that offer an Employee Assistance Program.

Work Engagement

This is the employee's connection to their responsibilities in a more energetic and dedicated manner through the passion and motivation they feel toward their work. Work engagement increases by 28% in companies that offer an Employee Assistance Program.

Life Satisfaction

In addition to the employee's presence in the workplace, this refers to their private life going well and the healthy establishment of a work-life balance. Life satisfaction increases by 57% in companies that offer an Employee Assistance Program.
