The How and Why of Building EA and HR Relationships

Description:

The Human Resource (HR) function is different in every organization, but most will encompass employer "people" policies, procedures, benefits, talent management, labor relations (when there is a CBA), HR metrics, and communications. HR will often include payroll, EEO, law, safety/security, community relations, training, occupational health, wellness, ethics hotlines, OSHA / DOT / DOD compliance, and more. Why these HR functions exist and where / how Employee Assistance (EA) can and should interact with these functions will be the focus of this presentation on practical applications in building EA / HR relationships.

Goals:

1. To explain a range of HR functions where EA/HR can and should interact on an operations level.
2. To position EA for establishing value and utility beyond traditional EA roles.
3. To encourage EA providers to expand on the Core Tech consultation role with the employer as the targeted client.
4. To equip EA professionals with questions, comments, and tools to engage HR in a role expansion view of EA.

Objectives:

1. To assess and compare the roles of HR and EA within an employer organization and within the employment relationship.
2. To demonstrate EA availability and utilization as a broad extension of the way an employer relates to employees.
3. To identify the practical applications of EA Core Tech to daily HR operations.
4. To demonstrate proactive positioning of EA within an employer organization beyond traditional assessment / referral / short-term counseling roles.
