Problems are unfortunate facts of life experienced by everyone, everywhere. Quite often some personal problems adversely affect employees' performance at work, affecting productivity and straining relationships with coworkers. EAP services are designed to enhance the quality of life in the employee by helping them to cope with the kinds of problems most of us encounter at least once in our lives.

The Employee Assistance Program offers confidential, professional consultation and assistance to help you and your family resolve difficulties that may be affecting your personal lives and job performance.

One of the most important responsibilities of the supervisor is to monitor and evaluate the employees job performance. The supervisor's capabilities to accomplish this are greatly improved by receiving training in the identification of employee performance problems, consultation on documentation and intervention with the employee, and a readily available resource for referral of the employee. The need for specialized resources outside of the company organization continues to grow. Services are provided through training, phone consultation, written information and referral services. EAP services provide a resource for consultation and information regarding regulations. Company policies and management of human resource issues will be reviewed. Plus, on-site intervention for critical issues is available on a fee-for-service basis.

There is no cost to you for using the EAP. Referral to another resource for additional assistance could result in a fee. Many times these fees will be partially covered by health insurance. Many problems can be resolved with brief contact through the EAP. For problems that require help beyond the EAP, every attempt will be made to refer you to the best and most affordable resources. Provide skills for supervisors through training, consultation and referral information.
