We consistently recommend ESI Total Care to our clients, and for good reason. This is far beyond your typical Employee Assistance Program. ESI Total Care offers an impressive range of robust resources that provide incredible value for the investment. Their support goes well beyond helping employees through crisis, stress, or anxiety. They take a truly holistic approach by offering resources for nutrition, fitness, and overall well-being, along with personal and professional coaching. In addition, their training programs and management support tools are extremely valuable for employers looking to strengthen their teams. Our representative, Karen, is a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly responsive, always available to meet with clients and employees, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is supported. ESI Total Care is a standout partner that we highly trust and confidently recommend.

Partnering with ESI’s Educators' EAP has been a total game-changer for the Schenectady City School District. It is so much more than a typical benefit program; it’s a genuine lifeline for our teachers and staff, offering everything from deep mental health support and work-life balance tools to professional development designed specifically for the unique pressures of working in education. What really sets ESI apart is their heart—their team responds instantly, shows incredible empathy, and makes getting help completely seamless and stigma-free. By truly looking out for our staff's well-being, they’ve helped us build a stronger, more resilient school community, making them an absolutely indispensable partner in our district.

Bringing ESI’s EAP on board years ago has proven to be one of the most valuable benefits decisions we’ve made. Over the years, I have seen firsthand the positive impact their services have had on employees and their families. ESI consistently provides compassionate support, practical resources, and responsive guidance that truly make a difference during both everyday challenges and difficult times. Their team is professional, caring, and easy to work with, and they continue to evolve their programs to meet the changing needs of the workforce. It is reassuring to know our employees have access to such a trusted and supportive resource, and I am grateful for the partnership we have built with ESI over the years.

Our district has had an excellent experience with the Educators Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for the past 4 years. The program has proven to be a valuable and comprehensive resource for our staff, supporting both their personal and professional well-being. The program truly stands out for its breadth of resources. It offers a wide range of services, including financial and professional guidance, long-term care planning, childcare assistance, savings, and even pet care support. The responsiveness and professionalism of the program staff have also been consistently commendable. Our employees feel supported, valued, and empowered to seek help when needed. Overall, the Educators EAP has been an outstanding partner to our district. It has not only supported individual staff members but has also strengthened our organizational culture by promoting wellness, balance, and proactive care. We highly recommend this program to any organization seeking to invest in the well-being of its workforce.

ESI has been a transformative partner to us. Beyond the support they provide for our employees' emotional needs, they have developed a platform that provides professional development and personal improvement tools. Beyond the platform, our service team do not act like "vendors" rather they are engaged partners quick to offer assistance and support. They are laser focused on making certain that our employees and organizational needs are met. Rarely, do you find a partner whose investment in your success is as important to them as their own, but with the ESI team it is mortal certainty.

ESI has provided JFLP with all the information that our employees need to be successful not only at work but in their personal lives. ESI has also been very helpful in supporting our organization and sending us any updates that come available.

We have been using ESI for over 2 years and in that time they have been absolutely wonderful! They are attentive to the employees' needs and provide numerous helpful resources. Our account manager is always happy to help, as are the phone operators when I call with a question on an employee's behalf or to do a supervisor consult.

We have been using ESI as our EAP vendor for three years now and have been extremely pleased with the services provided. The customer service has been excellent, and the additional benefits offered (beyond those from a traditional EAP vendor) have been so beneficial to our staff. The continuous communication they send out to staff is appreciated. So often employee assistance programs get lost in the shuffle, but ESI ensures that the awareness of its existence and value is kept at the forefront.

ESI provides exceptional EAP benefits to our managers and employees. Online resources and trainings are vast, and their staff is knowledgeable and personable. We frequently use ESI's material on our intranet, to remind employees of this wonderful resource that is available to them 24/7/365.

ESI is a benefit that is truly a "hidden gem". I often remind our employees the power of this benefit and that it is not the traditional EAP "help when there is a problem"...but in addition to providing that help, there are so many other other "over the top" beneficial benefits. I remind our staff frequently to check out ESI as one of their "go to" resource!

ESI EAP has been a very valuable benefit for our employees. Our utilization rate has been steady over the years and our managers are big fans of the online training platform. In times of emergency situations, EAP has always been there as a source too. Their one stop shopping service can't be beat!

ESI is the best EAP program I have worked with. I made the move to ESI with a previous employer over 5 years ago and was continually impressed with their support, resources, and response time. When I became employed at the Co-op, one of the first things I did was move the Co-op to ESI for EAP resources. The resources available to staff and their families is in excess of any other EAP. I highly recommend the ESI Team!

ESI is the most comprehensive EAP that I have had the opportunity to enjoy. The breadth of services is unparalleled from traditional counseling to a variety of online training options and a personal assistant option. Their responsiveness is unparalleled. We regularly use the training programs as a part of our performance correction notice requirements as well as for our annual NYS Sexual Harassment Prevention Training requirements. I would highly recommend the ESI team!

The EAP program has been so beneficial to our staff that we now include their video introducing the program to our new hire's first day of Orientation. Our ESI representative, Karen, is wonderful. She is responsive to our questions and has graciously been the speaker at a recent All Staff Meeting to continue to spread the word about the benefits of EAP. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with ESI and highly recommend them.

ESI offers one of the most comprehensive EAP programs that I have seen after 30 years in the employee benefits field. Their training sessions are excellent. The on-demand webinars offer enrichment that staff can access when it is convenient for them. We like that component so well that we have added attending an ESI webinar to our wellness rewards program.

My experience with ESI far surpasses that of every other EAP provider I've worked with over the past 22 years. Our two points of contact are always professional, responsive and proactive. The technology, content and offerings are current/relevant and well received by staff. When comparing the full suite of services, I can confidently say they are competitively priced. By far the best EAP and representatives I've worked with.
