Appendix 2 - Logic Model

Description:

The EAS use funding, human resources and facilities as the primary resources (inputs) to deliver its activities, produce outputs and accomplish its outcomes.

The EAS consists of four main activities delivered by affiliate providers, namely:

• Specialized Organizational Services which refer to organizational development and wellness services targeted to management;
• Employee Assistance Program which include individual counselling as well as advisory services and trauma management;
• Psycho-Social Emergency Preparedness and Response Services; and
• Occupational Critical Incident Stress Management Services.

These activities are targeted to the employees (and family members) of the 140 federal organizations currently under agreement with Health Canada. The Occupational Critical Incident Stress Management Services component is specifically targeted to the 1,000 nurses working in remote and/or isolated First Nations communities.

As a result of each activity, the EAS generates a number of products and/or services, namely:

• Specialized Organizational Services
  • Customized training sessions and workshops; long-term coaching to managers and executives
• Employee Assistance Program
  • Assessments, counselling and referrals; advisory services to managers (for incidents outside of the norm) and group interventions
• Psycho-Social Emergency Preparedness and Response Services
  • Group interventions
• Occupational Critical Incident Stress Management Services
  • Assessments and referrals (disability prevention and management services)

The implementation of the activities identified above corresponds with specific immediate, intermediate and long-term outcomes. In the immediate term, the delivery of Specialized Organizational Services is expected to lead to increased access to knowledge and tools to improve employee wellness and address workplace issues. The three other activities, i.e., the Employee Assistance Program, Psycho-Social Emergency Preparedness and Response Services and Occupational Critical Incident Stress Management Services are expected to lead to enhanced awareness of resiliency skills.

The achievement of these immediate outcomes is expected to lead to the achievement of intermediate outcomes. In this manner, increased access to knowledge and tools to improve employee wellness and address workplace issues is expected to lead to increased use of knowledge and tools to improve wellness and to address workplace issues while enhanced awareness of resiliency skills is expected to lead to increased use of resiliency skills.

In the long term, intermediate outcomes of increased use of knowledge and tools to improve wellness and to address workplace issues and increased use of resiliency skills are expected to lead to increased satisfaction and productivity.
