Typical indices of EAP effectiveness, such as satisfaction, subjective reports, and reliance on studies done on other EAPs are no longer enough. There is growing pressure to understand the end result or outcome of your program's specific intervention in a real work setting. Employers look mostly to their EAP vendors to initiate outcome evaluation, whereas vendors struggle with the task of finding a relevant outcome measure that is workplace focused and appropriate to the EAP setting. We believe that struggle is now over.
A short but highly valid and reliable measurement tool, Workplace Outcome Suite (WOS), is now available to EAPs at no cost. (The suite is "free" with no strings attached, simply sign a short User Agreement.)
