Employee Assistance
Programs (EAPs)
An employee assistance program (EAP) is a worksite-based program
designed to assist (1) work organizations in addressing productivity
issues and (2) "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. An EAP
is a benefit provided by employers for employees to boost productivity
and improve morale.
