According to EAPA the EAP market in the UK is a significant one - with organisations' spending on them over £50 million per annum.
Given this significant spend procurement of an EAP is something that needs to be undertaken with appropriate planning, research and investigation.
David Smith, chair of UK EAPA, said: "This Buyer's Guide has been prepared to help organisations at every stage of the EAP buying process. Whilst every organisation has its own unique issues and concerns, when it comes to employee assistance, there is much information on issues, trends and solutions that can be shared and which is contained here," he says. The UK EAPA Buyer's Guide brings together an array of information on the type, format and remit of EAPs.
Smith added: "By bringing together the knowledge and experience of UK EAPA member organisations in this way, the procurement and provision of your EAP can be a straightforward and engaging one that will have lasting positive results for your organisation and your workforce."
The resource is available free of charge, from the EAPA website.
