More and more companies today are introducing EAPs and hopefully for the right reason.
Employee Assistance Programmes or EAPs are work-based programmes designed to improve organisational performance through the provision of structured management/workplace and employee support services.
EAPs serve a dual role as they function at the micro and macro levels of an organisation. At the micro level, the EAP provides support – via confidential assessment, counselling, referral, and follow-up care for employees and their family members who may be experiencing personal/behavioural concerns that negatively affect their performance and productivity. At the macro level, the EAP provides support to the organisation as a whole – via management training and consultation, and assisting with critical incidents in the workplace.
It is imperative that companies realise that EAPs are not just a “band aid” for a troubled worker or a “nice to have” benefit. EAPs today are about forging strategic partnerships with organisations as they work together to strengthen and develop healthy and productive workplaces.
