Employee Assistance Programs

At Empathia, our approach to an employee assistance program (EAP) goes beyond providing an employee benefit. For over 35 years, we’ve helped employers and employees be at their best, and we have the metrics to prove it. Compassion, paired with a people-centered approach, contributes to increased levels of employee engagement and life satisfaction, both of which drive organizational success. Our dedicated team of management consultants has the experience and expertise to help assess, develop a plan and monitor high-profile situations that impact managers and Human Resources. We offer services dedicated to employee wellbeing, including:

  • Financial and legal counseling
  • Caring for an elderly parent
  • Substance abuse
  • Mental health concerns
  • Stress management
  • Parenting and child care concerns
  • Marital issues

Our LifeMatters EAP gives you what you need … a stronger organization and proof that you care for your team.

Not Just Another EAP

Are you looking for both competence and compassion? The pages of an EAP proposal can’t demonstrate these traits. Other providers may offer good EAP services, but at Empathia, you get competence infused with compassion.

Great Services + Great People.

Because when it comes to the wellbeing of your employees, one without the other is meaningless.
