An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a work-based program designed to help employees manage personal and professional challenges. EAPs typically offer confidential counseling services, resources, and support for issues such as stress, mental health, substance abuse, and family problems. These programs aim to improve employee well-being and productivity. Employers often provide EAPs as part of their benefits package, recognizing that a healthy workforce contributes to a positive work environment. Employees can access these services at no cost, ensuring they receive the help they need without financial barriers. EAPs can also include workshops and training on various topics related to workplace wellness.
