Employee well-being directly impacts productivity, engagement, and retention. Employees often face personal, emotional, financial, or workplace challenges that require timely and confidential support. That is why organizations invest in Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). However, when EAP requests are managed through emails, calls, or unstructured spreadsheets, HR teams struggle with delayed responses, poor visibility, inconsistent follow-ups, and manual reporting.
The Employee Assistance Program Request Tracker in Google Sheets is a ready-to-use, professional solution designed to manage EAP requests with clarity, care, and control. This tracker helps HR teams record requests, prioritize urgent cases, track response time, monitor satisfaction, analyze costs, and identify trends—without complex HR software.
Because it is built entirely in Google Sheets, this tracker enables real-time collaboration, instant updates, and secure access, making it ideal for modern HR and wellness teams.
