Colorado State Employee Assistance Program (CSEAP) partnered with OMNI Institute in 2023 to replicate and expand upon a 2013 study that sought to examine the impact of EAP services in improving workplace productivity outcomes. The recently released executive summary of the 2023 study demonstrates that CSEAP services have a significant impact on the reduction of anxiety and depression symptoms in state employees. While the study may indicate challenges to previously used measures of presenteeism and absenteeism, findings indicate the value of investing in employee mental health.
