Mercy Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) acts as a partner, or resource, for you in providing professional, confidential help to employees and their families, through their own initiative or 
supervisor referral.
An EAP helps you establish an early identification and intervention approach in dealing with performance problems in the workplace. EAP providers work with employees, supervisors and managers to problem-solve, identify symptoms and offer guidance in managing stress – whatever the cause – in total confidentiality.
Incorporating an EAP into your employee resources can also help defray operation costs due to workplace accidents, absences, disability and medical claims, disciplinary action and lost productivity.
Consider the facts:
- Depression affects 19 million workers annually
- 50% of all primary care visits are due to conditions
related to mental or emotional problems
- 40% of industrial fatalities are related to
substance abuse
- 70% of all substance abusers are employed
- Stress related problems average $750 per
working person each year
Providing an EAP is a progressive step. More than 70% of all Fortune 500 companies have implemented EAPs.
This service can improve your employees’ work and boost workplace morale, commitment and employee retention. You’ll be showing your employees you support them in taking care of themselves.
