We also applaud the Governor and legislature for finally passing a First Responder bill in June of 2007.
How do Employee Assistance Programs Help Employees and Employers?
Employee Assistance Programs provide easy to access services for counseling, crises, and referral. Since these are provided free to the employee, the employee benefits from direction to resources or stabilization of a problem without cost. Employers benefit from providing a valued benefit at a minimal cost per employee, reduced accident rates, and reduced absenteeism or sick days. Both employers and employees usually benefit from cost savings in health insurance and Worker's Compensation costs.
