I have found that those buisnesses that provide cash for health plans such as westfield benfit because the counselling services are excellent and private physiotherapy is easily accessible  with funding for at least 6 to 7 sessions. What can be a problem with the physio etc is having to pay up front whcih some employees refuse to do - even though the turn around for payment can be days.This kind of scheme is also good for DSE users and eye tests. Also because the impetus is on the employee to access the treatment  (which can be a benefit in itself) - it doesn't always happen even with OH encouragement. Still a good system I think.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts about EAP provision.

A client of mine with approx. 150 employees (so not a large organization) is considering options around providing further support for it's employees.  I was recently in a conversation with a colleague of mine who said that a couple of companies he is working with have stopped using the standard EAP services due to poor uptake and are just providing funding for counseling with OH as the gateway.

I really appreciate your input, as it is good to hear a number of perspectives.

Cheers

Andrea
