THRIVE VIDEO WEBCAST: Understanding the CRUCIAL Intersection of Employee Assistance Programs, Insurance and Access to Care

Employee Assistance Programs serve a vital role in protecting and retaining human capital. Well-being needs are matched and met through the ability to apply knowledge of people, behavior, behavioral health to the workplace. The insurance offered is the differentiator between access to care that is needed versus sub-par treatment. To ensure the best outcome for both employer and employee it is imperative that the providers are well coordinated with the EAP.
