THE CENTER FOR EAP BENCHMARK SURVEYS

The Center for EAP Benchmark Surveys gives your EAP the opportunity to save time and money by outsourcing your surveys and having your clients enabled to answer them online.

The Center is a division of Harting Associates, Inc. which began in 1979 and is under the leadership of Jim Harting, LCSW, CEAP.

Our software development began in 1983.  The online surveys are an extension of our long term commitment to EAP resources.  We have been in the forefront of software development.  Our experience working with EAP’s who utilized our software for the past 21 years has earned the confidence of our hundreds of EAPs.
