Employee Assistance Evaluations Q&A

What are employee assistance evaluations?

Employee assistance evaluations can be used to help determine if an employee would benefit from mental health services. A professional psychiatrist can aptly diagnose employees and determine what kind of services they need to achieve better mental wellness.

Emotional, social, and substance misuse can interfere with an employee’s work performance, relationships, and productivity. 

Who benefits from employee assistance evaluations?

Employers who have employees that exhibit concerning behavior benefit from the evaluations. You might refer an employee to an evaluation if you: 

  • Notice a noticeable decline in their performance
  • Observe strained relationships with fellow employees
  • Know an employee is struggling with emotional problems or interpersonal relationships
  • Suspect substance use issues
  • Have an employee struggling with grief
  • Become aware of legal or financial issues that interfere with their work duties
  • Had a traumatic event happen at your workplace

Employee assistance evaluations can be helpful to workers experiencing serious illness and the associated challenges of staying at work or returning to work.

Can an employee request an employee assistance evaluation?

If you offer services from Olayinka M Ayeni MD PLLC, you can make employees aware of the availability of the evaluations so they can request services when needed. You may not be aware that an employee is struggling.

The evaluations offer a mental health resource for your employees that are struggling. Dr. Ayeni is incredibly professional and responsive to your employee’s needs. They won’t have to tolerate long wait times, inflexible treatment plans, and poor service offerings. Dr. Ayeni can offer treatment personally or refer an employee to an appropriate level of care. 

Treatment after an employee assistance evaluation may include short-term counseling and behavioral therapy. The follow-up care can give your employees tools to process grief, manage stress, and overcome mental health concerns like post-traumatic stress disorder.

Employee assistance programs are often underutilized by employees because they aren’t aware of their availability or eligibility. Employees also express concern about confidentiality; be assured that all information shared with Dr. Ayeni is completely private. 

By offering employee assistance evaluations, you — as an employer — make mental health a priority at the workplace, improving morale and productivity.
