Employee Assistant Program
Providing Employee Assistance Program services is the principle business for Blomquist Hale. Many other EAP providers are also mental health centers, hospitals, private practice groups or insurance companies. With BHC there is no conflict of interest. BHC's only interest is delivering quality training to our business clients.
Immediate Access
Traditional employee assistance programs generally serve clients through sub-contracted therapists who are primarily interested in their own private practice. In spite of assurances to the contrary, it generally takes a week or two for a client to get a first appointment. Blomquist Hale, however, places an extremely high emphasis on immediate access and prompt response. Access to our services is as simple as calling the office. All clients are offered an appointment time generally within a couple of working days of the initial call. Crisis cases are seen the same day, generally within two hours. No paperwork or approval is needed and there is no charge. Counselors are available around the clock for emergency and crisis situations.
Increased Utilization
Blomquist Hale serves an average of 15% of the workforce and their families every year as opposed to 3-7% of the workforce being served by traditional employee assistance programs. Because there are no surcharges for increased utilization, individuals are encouraged to use BHC's services as soon as problems arise. Problems that are solved in their earliest stages are likely to reduce absenteeism, stress, accidents, long term disability costs, etc.
NO Session Limits
Traditional employee assistance programs limit the number of sessions available each year and employers are surcharged if this number is exceeded. It doesn't make sense for the participants to use up their limited number of sessions only to be referred out because their therapy wasn't complete. They must begin again with an expensive mental health provider. Most of our client Companies do not limit the number of sessions available through the EAP. However, problems which will not respond to short-term therapy are referred to contracted community providers who provide services to our clients at a discounted rate. If a referral is necessary, BHC stays in close contact with the client and the treatment providers to assure quality care. Follow-up continues until the problem is resolved.
Retention
The BHC EAP attempts to treat as many cases as possible completely within the EAP, thereby saving the participant all the copays. Approximately 85% of all those who access the EAP for services get all the help they need within the EAP. Most EAP’s refer out about 40-60%.
Therapy Model
BHC counselors use a brief, solution-focused therapy model. We teach participants how to resolve their unique problems while assisting them along the way. BHC functions not only in a counseling capacity but also in a consulting capacity with the employer. Workshops, seminars, on-site problem-solving, critical incident debriefing, and assistance with down-sizing is readily available to supervisors and other management staff.
