Employee Assistance

Employee Assistance Program

An employee assistance program (EAP) is a work site based program designed to assist work organizations in addressing productivity issues, and to help employees and family members to identify and resolve personal concerns that may affect employee well-being and productivity. Assistance is provided for a wide range of personal concerns including, but not limited to emotional, stress, marital, alcohol, drugs, mental health conditions, children, legal, financial and/or other personal problems.

EAP as a Management Benefit

From the employer's perspective, an EAP improves a company's bottom line in a variety of ways:

  • An EAP increases work force productivity by treating troubled employees in a timely manner.
  • An EAP refers employees to the most cost effective option to resolving problems.
  • an EAP is designated to guide supervisors in effectively managing troubled employees thus, the supervisor is no longer wasting valuable time and effort attempting to deal directly with personal problems in the workplace.
