Welcome to your Employee Assistance Program
It's True
When you meet with an EAC professional counselor, you will be greeted, set at ease, and helped to clarify the concern that brought you to EAC. The counselor will then discuss options for resolving the problem or issue and formulate a plan of action most likely to help you.
All of us experience personal problems at one time or another. When severe and distracting, personal problems interfere with our well-being, and they can also negatively affect our productivity on the job.
Personal problems can interfere with attendance or make us late for work. They can alter our behavior in undesirable ways, affect our attitude, cause us to be careless, increase our personal risk on the job, and adversely affect our decisions, demeanor, and interactions with others.
For these reasons, and because employees are every organization's most valuable resource, your employer has established an employee assistance program (EAP).
- An EAP helps employees and their families identify personal problems, including job-related concerns. These problems may include emotional problems, alcohol and other drug-related problems, marriage and family problems, financial and legal problems, interpersonal conflicts at work, stress, etc.
- Employee assistance professionals are licensed counselors, specially trained and experienced at listening, asking the right questions, gathering the correct information, and helping you decide the best course of action to resolve the issue.
