Why is ESI EAP utilization triple that of other EAPs?

When measuring an EAP’s effectiveness, utilization is a key metric. It’s simple. If your employees aren’t getting the help they need to resolve problems and issues that sap their productivity, you just aren’t getting your money’s worth. Each month, we meet with Client HR Directors to talk about their EAP. One question that is often asked is why ESI’s utilization is so much higher than that of their prior EAP vendor.

See What ESI EAP Clients are Saying!

"ESI is the best EAP program I have worked with. I made the move to ESI with a previous employer over 5 years ago and was continually impressed with their support, resources, and response time. When I became employed at the Co-op, one of the first things I did was move the Co-op to ESI for EAP resources. The resources available to staff and their families is in excess of any other EAP. I highly recommend the ESI Team!"

Mary Saritelli, Director of Human Resources

"The EAP program has been so beneficial to our staff that we now include their video introducing the program to our new hire’s first day of Orientation. Our ESI representative, Karen, is wonderful. She is responsive to our questions and has graciously been the speaker at a recent All Staff Meeting to continue to spread the word about the benefits of EAP. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with ESI and highly recommend them."
