What are EAP Solutions Worklife Services?

Balancing the competing demands of work and family life can be a very difficult and frustrating task. EAP Solutions’ WorkLife Services bridge these challenges with a comprehensive Web-based resource center, which has thousands of resource articles to make your life easier.

For employees whose company has purchased the optional Personalized and Customized WorkLife Consultation Service, a WorkLife specialist is available 24/7 to identify resources close to your home or work that may be helpful in bringing more balance to your life.

All client companies receive our comprehensive Web-based product, which provides employees with thousands of pages of resource information and access to national and local databases

For client companies who have purchased an upgraded product, employees may access Web-based locators or personalized WorkLife consultation services available by phone or email.

A 2005 study of over 1,000 companies by the Family and Work Institute found that over 50% of employers provide work-life services as a recruitment and retention strategy, while 25% recognize the productivity and engagement commitment. The study’s conclusion is that work-life services are not an HR solution but a business solution for a competitive workforce that bridges gender, ethnic, and generational differences.
