EAPs offer tools and resources that help employees balance their responsibilities with family, caregiving, health and wellness, emotional well-being, and daily living – but may best address more short-term, critical mental health issues.

Employees deserve readily accessible help when they simply need to refocus, or cope with anxiety, stress, and/or burnout. And that help should be available to them 24/7, whether they're at their desk, or on the go.

The employer should receive regular, secure reporting on utilization, trends, and progress, demonstrating impact on overall workforce mental wellness and return on investment, while protecting the privacy of employees.
