Employee Assistance Program

The success of any business large or small depends in large part on its employee productivity. When employee personal problems follow them to work, the success of a business may be adversely affected. That is why many businesses of all sizes now offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).

Employers realize that the personal well-being and positive emotional health of their employees contribute to higher levels of productivity, just as intensifying personal problems can impair job performance.

An employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an employer-sponsored program for employees and their immediate family members (dependents) to obtain help with personal problems that can and do affect work.

Features of the EAP include:

  • Evaluations to determine the best course of treatment
  • Crisis intervention
  • Early-stage help for troubled workers

Why have an EAP (Employee Assistance Program)?

  • Alcohol and other drug abuse cost business over $100 billion annually
  • Depressed employees cost business in excess of $25 billion annually
  • 85% of industrial accidents are stress or drug/alcohol related.
  • Absenteeism is 5 to 6 times higher among individuals with personal problems.
  • Problem employees are 3 to 4 times more likely to file medical claims and 5 times more likely to file workers' compensation claims than other employees
  • Mental health problems have been consistently among the 3 leading causes of hospitalization in the United States.

NMS Management Services Offers DNA Diagnostics Testing

DNA testing is the most accurate method of establishing paternity. Whether the test is for your own knowledge that is held strictly in confidence by our lab or whether it is needed for legal or court purposes, our clients are assured of state of the art testing as well as licensed professional services. Sample collection is painless and easily obtained using a buccal swab (mouth swab).

All types of samples can be analyzed though, as long as there is cellular material in the sample. Other types of samples can include tubes of blood, blood on the blood spot card, or even forensic type sample such as cigarette butts, toothbrushes or envelopes scales with saliva. These latter types of forensic samples give clients who have deceased individuals involved in their case the ability to obtain a paternity determination even though the individual is not available for testing.

Additionally, prenatal DNA testing can be performed on the unborn child using samples collected by a physician using techniques such as amniocentesis or CVS. Since DNA is the same in every cell in a person's body, all sample types gives the same results with equal accuracy. Basic paternity determinations are 99.9% inclusive of the father and 100% accurate in excluding a person that is not the father of the child.

Most people choose a legally binding test, in case the results are needed in court. The basic paternity requires samples from the mother, alleged father and the child. In addition to standard paternity testing, DNA Diagnostics also offers a wide variety of other DNA based testing services. These legally admissible services are utilized to determine the identity of a human being in a variety of situations including:

  • Paternity testing
  • Divorce proceedings
  • Infidelity
  • Sexual harassment
  • Sexual assault
  • Criminal
  • Blood tests
