Preview the latest postcard and get some facts on EAPs
The latest installment in our postcard marketing campaign has just gone to print.
They should be here and ready for mailing sometime in the next 2 weeks. The focus: the Employee
Assistance Programs available through our development partner, Pragmos Consulting/EmployeeCounselling.ca
(Normally this would just be marketing process, but we've
apparently touched a
nerve with our innovative line of postcards. I blame Mark ;-) His graphics really are
awesome.
It has led to companies actually asking us to send them marketing materials!)
Employee Assistance
Programs
Most 'work stress' isn't actually about the work. But
employee problems
with inter-personal relationships, too many demands on their time,
and substance abuse still
affect your bottom line.
A March 2005 Ipsos Reid survey found that the top employee stressors were
actually:
Personal Growth and Maturation Issues;
Relationships at Work and
Outside;
Family issues;
Parenting issues;
Finance issues; and
Substance abuse.
It isn't as if there is a magic threshold at the office door where the effects of what is happening
at home are magically shed. Stress is additive: what happens in the office affects
how
people respond to stressors at home, and what happens at home affect
attitudes toward
coworkers, tasks, and even the physical environment.
Everyone needs a way to let off steam. A friendly ear
and solid advice from
a trained and neutral third-party whose focus is on helping
them find ways to cope with the pressures
in their lives is key. Employee Assistance
Programs provide this service for your employees on an
as-needed basis.
For businesses in Canada, we have partnered with Pragmos
Consulting and the Therapy Canada
Network to provide an alternative to
traditional Employee Assistance Programs.
Developed with a "pay
for play" model, EmployeeCounselling.ca makes it affordable for smaller businesses
to offer their employees mental health services. Additionally, the Graduated Co-Pay System allows
the employee to slowly take ownership of the relationship with the therapist and the underlying issue.
It also has no restiction on that employee working with a the therapist of their choice once
the employer-paid number of sessions has been reached (as is common with traditional
EAP).
