COMMUNITY
Health Advocate continued to partner in health and wellness fairs, Wellness Champion meetings, ongoing
communications and webinars. They attended EAP/Advisory Committee meetings where we reviewed trends,
best practices, and new ideas for EAP and Advocacy promotion with a cross-section representation of the
District. During FY21, Health Advocate added an increased focus on the Advocacy benefit by continuing to
speak about it during Wellness Champion meetings and also emphasized the use of our member engagement
platform (website) which was accessed 3,676 times in SY21 from 2,692 times in SY20. Web visits on the EAP
site was up significantly to 17,836 in FY2, as many members have been accessing the website for helpful
COVID-19 resources, links and webinars because of all the communications and weekly web-exes offered
since March 2020.
EAP + Work/ Life Utilization
EAP + Work/ Life Utilization Health Advocate provided over 5,380 hours of service in FY21 for the District
employees and their families.

The top three (3) reasons for utilizing the EAP were Emotional, Anxiety, and Stress. Over 81% of all EAP cases
were handled by our EAP and Work Life team. The remaining 19% were coordinated with various other
resources (such as legal assistance, outpatient or inpatient mental health, community resources, etc.).

Some of the top training sessions included:
• Emotional Well Being for Employees
• Balancing Work, Life & Family
• Working through Stressful & Changing Times
• Returning to our Workspace

Overall, Health Advocate spent 7,615 hours resolving issues for members and their families helping to
relieve the stress of having to deal with complex medical issues on their own and keeping them focused and
productive. In addition, they saved the District approximately $1.2 million in absenteeism, presentism and
productivity savings.
