| Employee Assistance Program |
The Employee Assistance Professional Association defines
an EAP as a worksite based program designed to assist
work organizations in addressing productivity issues,
and employee clients in identifying and resolving personal
concerns, including, but not limited to health marital,
family, financial, alcohol, drug, legal, emotional,
stress, or other personal issues that may affect job
performance.
By definition, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP’s)
are designed to assist both the employer and the employee.
This facilitates the organization’s efforts to
improve employee productivity, lower employee turnover,
improve safety, and reduce health related costs.
