employee assistance program
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a work-based program designed to help employees manage personal problems that might adversely impact their job performance, health, and well-being. These programs offer confidential counseling and support services for issues such as stress, mental health, substance abuse, financial concerns, and family problems. EAPs aim to improve overall employee productivity and morale by providing resources that help employees navigate challenges both at work and in their personal lives. Many companies offer EAPs as a benefit to support employee health and retention.
