This article addresses the pervasiveness and the cost of depression in the workplace. The actual prevalence of depression among employed persons is difficult to determine because depressive disorders are underreported. Literature, nevertheless, suggests that depression is widespread and with serious consequences for sufferers, their families, their employers and for the nation overall. This article discusses the prevalence of depressive disorders in the workplace and the nature of depression as a mental health issue. A discussion of the field of occupational social work practice and ways to recognize and help employees with depressive disorders is provided.","PeriodicalId":246202,"journal":{"name":"Employee Assistance Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128602820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During 2003, eight universities collected responses using the same survey. Responses were received from about 30% of those surveyed. Over 93% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed with positive statements about all aspects of the service they received. Respondents also reported their own perception of their work performance/productivity impairment and subsequent improvement. A method for calculating return on investment (ROI) is described. Using this method and the self-report data, the EAPs had a combined ROI of 3.5 to 1 in 2002 and 4.3 to 1 in 2003.","PeriodicalId":246202,"journal":{"name":"Employee Assistance Quarterly","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133939674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority of evaluations were produced by organizations with internal EAPs located in the United States though there were 12 conducted by organizations employing external service providers and also a few from other nations, notably Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, found in the review. A variety of methodologies from key informant interviews to formal controlled experiments were used in the 39 evaluations employing both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods and from one to five distinct data sources. While this indicates a growing robustness in EAP evaluation and the ongoing awareness of the importance of conducting and publishing evaluations, it also underscores the lack of uniformity in systematically examining this dynamic practice area.","PeriodicalId":246202,"journal":{"name":"Employee Assistance Quarterly","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123736629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
