Once your organization joins the other 120+ regional employers, you will receive the following services:
CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS MANAGEMENT (CISM)
Employees involved in serious workplace incidents often experience emotional and physical symptoms affecting their work or return to work. A structured process of education and consultation will assist in easing the trauma and help to return personal control to the affected employee. Preparation for key personnel plus this "debriefing" component are part of Employee Assistance Services’ comprehensive CISM services. These sessions are also valuable when a major workplace change will be occurring. Available to contracted clients at no charge and to others at $250 per on-site hour for training plus mileage.
EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION
Employees may not fully understand the connection between the EAP and their own needs for assistance. This orientation will help employees quickly understand the risks associated with personal problems which may be negatively impacting their work performance and describe how the EAP may help. This information emphasizes employees' self-help for previously ignored or covered-up problems that tend to get worse over time without treatment. Available to contracted clients at no charge as part of your contracted service.
SUPERVISOR/MANAGEMENT TRAINING
Formal training sessions for supervisors, managers, and key leadership will clearly define respective roles and aid in facilitating referrals to the EAP to support positive change in employees with personal and job related problems. Available to contracted clients at no charge as part of your contracted service.
MANAGEMENT CONSULTATION
General guidance is provided on the management of employee performance problems, substance abuse identification and intervention, EAP referrals, conflict resolution, downsizing support, and assistance with design, implementation, operation, evaluation and modification of the EAP.
