| WHAT IS AN EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP)? |
| Employee Assistance Programs provide confidential counseling and referral services for individuals as well as their family members on a wide range of personal, emotional and work life issues. |
In addition, EAP's are also able to provide group seminars on a wide range of topics such as smoking cessation, stress management, change management, to name a few examples. |
At any given time an estimated 20-25% of individuals experience challenges at work and outside of work which can affect job performance. |
EAP's are now recognized by employers and employees alike as playing an integral part in the well-being of the workplace both from a human perspective and from a cost benefit perspective. |
