Implementing an EAP

Employee performance can be affected negatively by a number of things. Negatively impacted performance clearly affects the employer so why not consider implementing an EAP?  An EAP is an "Employee Assistance Program" which is created to provide general support to employees for various reasons. Employees can call a hotline to vent about what troubles they're having at home or call an AA office to assist with their substance abuse questions or concerns.

Employee's can utilize EAP's to find direction on how to resolve several different issues. The hotline can provide consultation or direct the employee to a credible resource that may be better suited to assist with their concerns. Either way, the employee is able to use a resource to help them find answers on what to do to improve their situation.

The EAP program should be 100% confidential and the hotline should be sourced through a third party.
