An EAP your people actually use.

Program assessment, design and support for HR and benefits leaders.

Our approach

A benefit on paper is not a resource.

Most organizations have an Employee Assistance Program. Fewer know what it is doing. Utilization is low and nobody is sure how low, managers don’t know when to refer, and the vendor’s report arrives once a year and goes unread. The program is paid for, and the problems it exists for still land on a manager’s desk.

We make the EAP part of how the organization runs.

Consulting for HR, benefits and people leaders: an assessment of the program you have, a plan for the one you need, and the manager training and follow-through that turn a line in the benefits guide into something people reach for.

What we work on

Four questions every program has to answer.

  1. 01

    Is it reaching anyone?

    Program assessment: utilization, access, awareness, and what employees and managers actually know about the benefit they have.

  2. 02

    Is it the right program?

    Design and vendor selection: scope, model, and the questions to ask before the contract, not after.

  3. 03

    Do managers know what to do with it?

    Manager training: when to refer, how to have the conversation, and where a manager’s role ends.

  4. 04

    What happens on the hard days?

    Critical-incident planning: who does what after a loss, a layoff or a crisis, decided before one happens.

How an engagement runs

Look first, then change what matters.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    The organization, the program you have, and what you need it to do.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    The data you already have, the contract, and conversations with the people the program is for.

  3. 03

    Plan

    What to keep, change or replace, in priority order, with what each step should show.

  4. 04

    Implementation and review

    Training, communication and vendor work, and we stay engaged while the numbers move.

Who it’s for

The people who own the program.

  1. 01HR and benefits leadersResponsible for a program and wanting to know what it returns.
  2. 02Organizations choosing or changing a vendorBefore the renewal, with the right questions in hand.
  3. 03Leadership teams after a hard yearTurnover, burnout, or an incident that showed where the gaps were.
