OUR HISTORY

WorkLife Hawaii is a division of Child and Family Service (CFS), a private, not for profit agency that has been providing counseling and social services to Hawaii's families since 1899. Formerly called Hawaii Employee Assistance Services, WorkLife Hawaii was the first employee assistance program (EAP) in the state of Hawaii and currently provides services on all Hawaiian Islands as well as Guam, Saipan, and the Mainland. WorkLife Hawaii is affiliated with a number of national and international providers of EAP services and is capable of providing services outside the state of Hawaii.

WHAT IS AN EAP?

An employee assistance program (EAP) is an employer-sponsored service that provides confidential counseling to employees and their family members. Nine out of ten employees report that personal life issues affect their job performance. EAPs help employees to address personal problems so that productivity can be restored. Studies have shown EAPs to be consistently cost effective, not only by restoring productivity, but by reducing the use of health benefits.

EAPS ARE GOOD FOR EMPLOYEES

• Professional service is offered to all family members at no cost to the employee

• Immediate assistance is offered to focus on finding solutions to problems

EAPS ARE GOOD FOR BUSINESS

• Reduces absenteeism

• Saves on healthcare costs

• Restores productivity

Employee assistance programs initially arose out of the business sector's need to address substance abuse in the workplace and have evolved over the years to become essential to businesses by providing a variety of employee and workplace services.

Generally the most frequently used service of an EAP is the counseling component. However, EAPs also provide other types of services to help a company maintain its productivity. EAPs can be an essential part of any business's response to change or crisis and can assist in providing organizational direction to individuals, teams and departments.
