Session Two: Employee Assistance Programs - Resources to Empower Your Employees
How does employee health affect your business? When lifestyle-related behaviors and chronic conditions affect your employees, you may notice a decline in productivity, employee engagement and business profitability, in addition to increased healthcare costs.

Join Dr. Charles Oden, assistant professor of business at St. Leo University, as he shares information about Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), identifies local access and provides tips on implementation. Incorporating EAPs into your workplace culture communicates empathy and provides your staff with adequate resources to cope with stress, mental illness and family-related dilemmas.

According to the Employee Assistance Society of North America, studies indicate employees who use EAPs often experience positive changes at work, including having fewer late days and absences, increased productivity and better work relationships. Find out how you can empower your employees with EAPs.
