No organization is immune to the human and financial costs of workplace and personal troubles that adversely affect an employee’s productivity. Today, over 88% of U.S. companies are taking steps to increase their productivity and manage their health care costs by providing employees and family members with access to Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs).

In today’s healthcare environment, many employer groups find themselves “managing their own health plan”. Because of this, an employer’s ability to understand cost drivers is critical. Without a holistic view of clinical and financial risks, these employers are unable to support or validate their healthcare strategy. Multiple programs are put in place to manage costs, but they often lack the coordination and integration necessary to achieve their full potential.

One of the core functions of an Employee Assistance Program is its ability and willingness to train a client’s managers and staff. PerformanceLinc, a service offered by CuraLinc in conjunction with the SupportLinc (EAP) program, is a robust corporate training service offered to client companies. This service is divided into two broad categories: Benefit Training and Topical Training.

ResponseLinc is the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) service offered by CuraLinc to client employees following a disaster or trauma. It is intended to weaken the acute symptoms of the trauma and to forestall the development of full-blown PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). This service is offered to SupportLinc EAP clients.
