EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Oct. 10, 2005 /PRNewswire/ -- Business Insurance Magazine has announced that the CIGNA Behavioral Health (CBH) Employee Assistance Program (EAP) was chosen by their readers as the Best Overall EAP in the country in the publication’s first annual “readers’ choice” award. Chosen from among eight of the largest EAP companies in the country, CBH was recognized for its long-term commitment to integrated care, quality, service and innovation by readers of the magazine.
“We know that helping employees manage stress and the challenges of everyday home and work life results in happier and more productive employees,” states Keith Dixon, Ph.D., president of CIGNA Behavioral Health. “That’s why we work closely with our customers to develop customized EAP programs to maintain the emotional and physical health of their employees through personal coaching, access to information and referrals to care and service.”
The CIGNA Behavioral Health EAP programs include services both for the employer and their employees and household members. Dixon said the EAP ensures that employees have easy access to information, consultation and referrals as well as opportunities for visits with counseling professionals that can help assess a wide range of problems. Further, employers have access to management consultation and organizational wellness services.
CBH works with individual companies to design an EAP that uniquely meets their specific business needs. Dixon said that CBH’s strength is its willingness to listen to varying customer needs and then customize an EAP program to suit that particular employer’s needs.
