employee assistance program

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a work-based program designed to support employees in addressing personal and professional challenges that may affect their well-being or job performance. EAPs typically offer confidential counseling services, resources, and referrals for a range of issues such as stress, mental health, financial problems, family concerns, and substance abuse. By providing employees with access to these services, EAPs aim to enhance overall productivity, promote mental health, and improve workplace morale. Many organizations offer EAPs as part of their employee benefits package, recognizing the importance of supporting the emotional and psychological needs of their workforce.
