Digital Employee Assistance Program 2.0
Employee Assistance Program
EAP is an intervention program that is designed in such a way to help the employees with a wide range of benefits including wellness, productivity, assistance, personal counselling, screening etc. The goal of EAP is to improve employees’ performance and productivity at the workplace, reduce risks and cut costs.
Significance of EAP
Stress is omnipresent and we all feel stressed. Sometimes the cause is due to poor management at workplace, work pressure, job dissatisfaction and sometimes it is related to personal life such as relationship issues, anxiety, depressive tendencies, financial problems, legal issues etc.
All these issues have an impact on the employees’ productivity and performance. When these issues are dealt in-time using a systematic approach with immediate assistance and crisis intervention techniques, they prevent them from turning into a serious problem.
We believe prevention is the key. Thus, a successful EAP should be able to prevent all these issues before they lead to a tragedy.
Why EAP is important in these tough times aka “new normal”?
Over the past few months, a couple of developments have necessitated many changes in the conventional EAP space. The pandemic COVID 19 has forced new norms of working from home. Working from home has its additional share of psychological as well as other issues.
Keeping the employees motivated and productive is altogether a new and tough task for the management. On the other hand, maintaining work-life balance has become difficult for employees. This creates pressure to perform better and efficiently on both, the management, and the employees which in turn affect the productivity thus the growth of the organization. Besides this, there are economic pressures on the companies to achieve a reduction in their cash outflow.
The traditional methods of providing a helpline to the employees are cost intensive. Wherever there is a human psychologist is involved, the cost would go up. Over the years, EAP has grown and so is the cost associated with the same. The outcome is not measurable, and the program often leads to misutilization or underutilization. Thus, now it has become more important to have a program for the employees that keep them motivated, help and take care of their wellbeing to improve their performance and productivity. So that the organization can grow and at the same time it is affordable & measurable for the organization. This can come from using a mix of digital platform and human coaches.

Advantages of Digital EAP 2.0
- With the proposed Digital 2.0 EAP solution, a corporate can assess the requirements. With the conventional EAP, there is no scientific method to requirement analysis. That results in a wasteful purchase of services or hours of consultations. Therefore, digital EAP 2.0 cost advantage starts even before services commence.
- Individuals get an early warning signal for their health. Similarly, the organisation becomes aware well in advance about the employees on whom they need to focus.
- To prevent misuse, rules can be configured to allocate the service usage limits per user with provision for the exceptions.
- Along with allocation of consultation to a mental health professional, the previous history of the employee and his severity levels are shared. This not only saves time and reduces the time duration in the consultations, MHP also has a better understanding of the problem and can plan differential treatment.
- Digital resources and tools are available 24*7 to give constant support, preventive and therapeutic consultations, AI ChatBot support, psychoeducation, and interactive content. Further BeRapid provides 12 hours of consultations at the fraction of the cost.
- Exclusive panels for all the stakeholders like corporate admin, MHP or Employees, capturing every single transaction or usage of the services including generation of a detailed MIS and reports periodically. The outcome and the efficacy of the system is measurable.
All the above-mentioned merits make digital EAP 2.0 a comprehensive and cost-effective solution.
