Absenteeism
· A study shows that when EAP services are provided work loss was avoided in 60% of cases with an average savings of 17 hours per case. 72% of these cases showed improved work productivity. [Atrige, M (2001, August)]
We can identify the "real" problem that leads to the best referral for the employee through Creative
Care's comprehensive assessment process, thus reducing absences and improving productivity.
Mental Health
· Depression and anxiety disorders – the two most common mental illnesses – each affect 19 million American adults annually (National Institute of Mental Health, 1999)
· The estimated economic burden of depression was $43.7 billion: $31.3 billion for indirect costs such as decreased productivity and lost work days, and $12.4 billion in direct costs such as medication and physician time (NMHA, 2000)
The process of defining the problem and formulating an assessment is continuous during the face to
face visit with the client. Creative Care's licensed clinicians considered the verbal and nonverbal
communication to help develop the best assessment and treatment plan for the client.
Substance Abuse
· 40% of industrial fatalities and 47% of industrial injuries are linked to alcohol consumption and alcoholism.
Research on substance abuse prevention has led to the development of effective training programs
including stress reduction, work/life balance, and communication strategies in the workplace. Creative
Care's training programs can help to enhance the work environment by reaching out to workers and
encouraging them to seek help.
