Description ctd.3
We all know that EAP services can provide tremendous value to the overall wellness of an organization and its employees. Did you also know that EAP practitioners can add significant value by supporting
organizations in maintaining effective performance management programs? Some of the benefits of effective performance management
mirror the benefits EAP services aim to deliver: increased productivity and motivation as well as improved employee morale and
retention. This webinar will show you how EAP programs can start supporting an organization’s performance management goals.
Polling questions: Are any of the webinar attendees currently helping to support
performance management programs? If so, how? What communication strategies would you recommend for EAP
providers and organizations who want to combine performance management programs with EAP services?
