Why companies benefit from eap
Success factor "healthy workforce
Professional, but also personal challenges have an impact on the psyche and performance of employees. Conflicts in the private sphere are taken to the workplace and cause high costs through a drop in concentration or performance, lack of motivation, absenteeism and possibly even long-term illness.
Companies that provide their employees with eap (employee assistance programme) fulfil their social mandate, act preventively and thus also economically, as valuable human resources are retained, strengthened and promoted within the company.
Healthy employees are motivated, loyal and productive. They are among the most important success factors of an organisation and bring about significant competitive advantages.
eap is an effective, sustainable and well-plannable investment that benefits companies and their employees alike.

Facts & Info
What does the evaluation of mental stress at the workplace mean?
The Occupational Health and Safety Act (ASchG) provides, among other things, for the obligation to evaluate workplaces. This means the identification and assessment of hazards by the employer and the determination of measures to avoid them.
In the course of the evaluation, the employer must - as in the past - determine both work-related physical and mental stresses that lead to misuse.
Companies must recognise working conditions that are detrimental to the workplace and take targeted measures to counteract them.
In the course of the evaluation, it is therefore necessary to check whether there are any work-related physical and mental stresses that can lead to misuse. Subsequently, measures must be taken to relieve the strain.
We offer companies the evaluation of mental stress - as provided for by law since 1.1.2013, including consultation in advance. For more information, please contact us! info@eap-institut.at
How high are your costs due to services not provided?
Use the Stanford formula to determine your default costs.
Stanford University in California is conducting studies in the field of health management on, among other things, absenteeism costs due to reduced performance or non-performance by employees as a result of physiological and psychological stress.
The Stanford formula was developed from the results of these studies. This formula is based on the assumption that 20% of employees are on average 25% less productive due to stresses, worries and hardships. These absenteeism costs are often not taken into account.
Please contact us if you would like to calculate the downtime costs for your company: info@eap-institut.at
