EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE SERVICES


Information for the Employer

We all know that a troubled employee will cost an organization time and money because of lower productivity, absenteeism, increased insurance and health care costs, accidents and turnover.  EAS can help you keep those costs under control.

The professional staff of EAS provides confidential assistance for your organization and employees.  We encourage employees to call EAS before a situation affects work performance.

We are available to assist you with a variety of management concerns and issues.  We recognize that stress is inherent in the workplace and this is especially true when changes occur.  We can help you make the transitions smoother by offering support, ideas and programs to fit your individual situation.

  • Do you need to comply with D.O.T. regulations?

  • Need support for your management team?

  • Want more training for your employees and managers?

  • How about someone to talk with when things get tough?

  • What about all these generations working together?

As a management support system, EAS offers training for all supervisory level personnel on how to make a referral to EAS, how to confront a troubled employee, and how to access and utilize EAS;  workshops and in-service training on a variety of issues; assistance with policy formation; executive coaching in other areas of concerns within the organization.  Our trainings are available both onsite and online as well as in our Plattsburgh offices on a regular basis.

As an employee benefit, EAS becomes part of the benefit package you offer to your employees.  This benefit will extend and complement your current program.  As the employer, you pay a fee based on the total number of employees you have in your organization.  The fee may be paid monthly,  quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

You will reduce company expenses through your EAP.  Assisting employees in finding cost effective treatment means lower health care costs which in turn keep your insurance premiums lower.  Giving employees an alternative to dismissal means increased protection from wrongful termination costs.  Less employee turnover means lower training costs.  Improved morale means increased productivity.

Benefits for Management include:

  • Improved Employee Morale

  • Improved Work Performance

  • Decrease in Employee Turnover

  • Decrease in Employee Conflicts

  • Improved Attendance

  • Improved Employee, Union & Public Attitudes

  • A System to Deal with Sensitive & Difficult Issues

Various workshops are available to be scheduled at your company site or in our Conference Room at our main office.  A few selections from our extensive list of offerings include:
