Most Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are designed for short-term stress, not the complex landscape of chronic illness or life-altering diagnoses. When a high-value employee faces a health crisis, the result shouldn't be a loss of talent.
At Quality Time Institute, we provide a Process-Based framework to help mid-sized organizations retain their people, support their leaders, and build a culture of "Collective Readiness."
Book Consultation
We offer three targeted solutions to ensure health challenges do not result in talent loss.
Returning from medical leave is a high-risk period for both the employee and the company. We provide strategic coaching to help employees navigate the "cognitive load" of returning to work while managing a chronic condition, ensuring they don't just return—they stay.
Most managers want to be supportive but are afraid of saying the wrong thing or violating compliance. We equip your leaders with scripts and frameworks to have empathetic, effective, and legally sound conversations with team members facing health transitions.
Generic talk therapy often fails the chronically ill. We provide specialized, Process-Based Therapy (PBT) for employees navigating medical trauma. Our approach is faster and more measurable than traditional methods, targeting the specific psychological mechanisms that block productivity and well-being.
Unlike traditional "ventilation" therapy, our methodology is scientific and data-driven. We treat resilience as a system, not a personality trait.
By targeting specific psychological nodes—such as cognitive flexibility, self-as-context, and value-based action—we provide a framework that is:
EFT Works | The Reality | The QTI Impact |
|---|---|
| Talent Loss: High-value employees quit due to lack of support. | High Retention: Employees feel seen and integrated, increasing loyalty. |
| Presenteeism: Employees work through pain but aren’t productive. | Optimized Flow: We teach “pacing” and “energy management” for work. |
| Managerial Burnout: Leaders feel overwhelmed by “sick leave” logistics. | Leader Confidence: Managers have a roadmap and expert support. |
Department
We offer three levels of partnership, designed to move from immediate crisis management to long-term "Collective Readiness."
Best for: Companies looking to empower their leadership team.
Managers are the frontline of employee retention. This tier focuses on "Managerial Support" to ensure leadership has the confidence to lead through health crises.
Supportive Scripts: Standardized templates for "Check-ins" and "Return-to-Work" conversations.
On-Demand Advisory: Monthly consulting hours for HR or Managers to discuss complex cases.
Legal & Empathetic Alignment: Ensuring support meets both compliance standards and human needs.
Best for: Managing high-value employee reintegration after medical leave.
This is a 90-day structured program for employees returning to work. It uses Process-Based Therapy (PBT) to stabilize the employee and the team.
1-on-1 Reintegration Coaching: Targeting the psychological "nodes" of productivity and confidence.
Pacing Frameworks: Building a custom "Energy Budget" for the employee to prevent relapse or burnout.
Bi-Weekly Manager Syncs: Brief updates to ensure the reintegration is meeting business milestones.
Best for: Organizations prioritizing DEI, Disability Inclusion, and Talent Protection.
This is a retainer-based model where QTI becomes an extension of your People Team.
Specialized Clinical Counseling: A set number of PBT-session hours per month for employees with life-altering diagnoses.
Cultural Workshops: Quarterly sessions on "Collective Resilience" for entire departments.
Policy Audit: Reviewing your sick leave and disability policies through an "Illness-Informed" lens to improve retention.
Unlike generalist support, our methodology follows a precise sequence to ensure the employee's mental health and the company's productivity stay in alignment.
