Emerging businesses are dynamic entrepreneurial
organizations with less than 1000 employees. They represent a tremendous
asset to our community, the overall business environment, and our
economy. Unfortunately, emerging businesses have traditionally been
under-serviced by EAP providers. Wellplace realizes emerging businesses
can greatly benefit from offering EAP services to their employees.
We have tailored our programs to meet the needs of these organizations.
87% of Fortune 500 companies offer EAPs. These firms long ago realized
the financial and human resource benefits of offering an EAP. Wellplace
believes emerging businesses should not be shut out of providing
an equal or superior benefit to its employees.
A Wellplace facilited EAP program can be a valuable part of an
emerging business benefits package. A comprehensive benefits program
is one feather in the cap that helps the emerging business compete
for and retain talented employees.
Employee “down time” has a greater potential to adversely effect
the emerging business than many larger firms. One employee represents
a greater percentage of the emerging business’s total work force.
If that employee is not working to his or her full potential the
entire firm may be adversely effected.
Wellplace has the most comprehensive package of EAP services available
for emerging businesses – total program costs are often less than
what many firms spend on coffee, cups, pens, or note pads.
What does the emerging business get in return?
Increased employee productivity
Fewer employee absences
Increased employee loyalty
Decreased employee turnover
Fewer mental health or physical disability claims and much more.
