EAP & Work-Life Integration: Research Update and Case Study of Tutoring

Abstract

My new column "Integration Insights" published quarterly in the Journal of Employee Assistance in 2015, recognizes that a majority of EAPs now also offer both work-life and wellness services. Collaboration with these other programs offer opportunities for EAPs to provide added business value. Implications are discussed for how program integration and expansion of services enhances the EAP partnership with multiple areas within the organization. Employer case studies are reviewed. This presentation also focuses on employee and family educational support and tutoring services as a new kind of partner program. Findings are presented from a literature review white paper and a survey of 345 employees concerning their child’s use of an online private tutoring service at a Fortune 100 company.
