Our January training topic is Aligning EAP to Business Objectives and will be presented by former SCEAPA President and EAPA District 2 Director Lucy Henry.
This four hour chapter training will be a combination presentation, round table discussion with guided questions and group presentations. The primary focus of the training will be a presentation of the current EAPA strategic plan goal 2 model presentation. This presentation will be an off the shelf training for EAPA members to present to primary stakeholders and purchasers of EAP services and the purpose of this specific training is to garner feedback from EAPA members on the strengths and weaknesses of the “model presentation”. There will also be a presentation and discussion on how EAPs work with RFPs and how EAPs can influence the standard questions asked on proposals.
The second part of the training will focus on garnering other ideas about Aligning EAP to business objectives, discussion around evaluation and measurement in EA Programs, discussion of the CEAP and encouraging Affiliate Providers to become CEAPs, and the overall growth of the Employee Assistance Professionals Association. The overall goal of this training is the discussion and sharing of ideas in an effort to motivate and empower chapter members to talk to others about the importance of being involved in the EA profession. This chapter meeting is also the SC Chapters member appreciation meeting.
Objectives:
1. Attendees will provide feedback to the EAPA Strategic Plan Goal 2 model presentation
2. Attendees will share with others their ideas about the Alignment of EAP to business objectives
3. Attendees will discuss with others thoughts regarding building up Employee Assistance Programs and the Professional Association
