employee assistance program

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a workplace service designed to help employees manage personal or work-related challenges that could impact their well-being and job performance. EAPs typically offer confidential support through counseling, mental health resources, legal advice, financial guidance, and crisis intervention. These programs aim to foster a healthier, more productive workforce by addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, family concerns, substance abuse, and workplace conflicts. By providing accessible help, EAPs contribute to employee satisfaction and organizational resilience.
