10 Questions to Ask Your EAP Provider

When choosing or renewing an EAP contract, it pays to look closely at what is being offered, because not all EAPs are the same. There may appear to be “free EAP” options, but many often cut primary services and value to drive down costs, and create blatant barriers to program access to limit utilization. Watch for fine-print limitations and exclusions, added fees for services, and check employee utilization rates.

Below are ten questions to ask when choosing an EAP provider:

Are counselors available 24/7?

Issues can arise at any moment, which is why AllOne Health’s services are accessible 365/24/7 which allows them to be immediately connected to the resource that they require. At AllOne Health, if immediate counseling is required, employees can telephonically speak with a counselor right away. As well, there are options for texting capabilities, mobile and online libraries of resources.

What type of assistance is available if we have a critical incident?

The point of contact of the organization that requires Critical Incident Response will coordinate with the EAP to decide what response is best from the EAP based on the situation that has occurred. In some cases, the EAP will be on site for group debriefings, individual counseling, and additional resources. There may also be follow-ups based on the responses and incidents that have occurred. The EAP works closes with the point of contact at each organization to ensure that the correct response is being taken to help employees deal with their emotions and move forward from the workplace trauma.

Is manager training included in the package, or do we pay for this separately?

A very helpful portion of services includes Organizational Development and Training. This service is provided by licensed counselors with specialties in various work-related situations.
