Behavior Health
Maximizing Mental Health ROI Through Integrated, High-Engagement Behavioral Health Workflows
the overview
While 97% of large employers offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), average utilization remains below 5%, leaving critical mental health resources underused and organizations unable to demonstrate ROI on their behavioral health investments. Employers and health plans face the dual challenge of supporting member well-being while managing escalating behavioral health costs that directly impact organizational performance and member outcomes. Hiive Health transforms EAP delivery by creating unified, accessible behavioral health workflows that increase engagement rates while providing administrators with real-time visibility into program effectiveness and clinical outcomes.
the challenge
Healthcare organizations face mounting pressure from behavioral health challenges that directly impact both workforce stability and organizational performance:
Poor Utilization Despite High Need
Only 5% of employees have actually accessed their company's EAP provider, while 1 in 3 men say they have poor mental health because of their job, indicating massive gaps between need and engagement.
Fragmented Service Delivery
Behavioral health counseling, stress management resources, and crisis intervention exist in separate systems, preventing holistic care coordination and creating barriers when employees need immediate support.
Administrative Complexity
Program updates and service modifications require vendor intervention or extensive IT resources, preventing rapid response to emerging workforce mental health needs and limiting customization capabilities.
Limited Clinical Oversight
Traditional EAPs provide minimal data on clinical outcomes, session effectiveness, or employee progress, making it difficult to evaluate program impact or justify continued investment.
These challenges directly impact bottom-line results through increased medical costs, productivity losses, and employee turnover that can exceed $15,000 per affected employee annually.
Hiive Health orchestrates behavioral health workflows that connect members with appropriate care while providing real-time analytics on program effectiveness and cost impact.
