EAP INFO EAP Services EAP Overview Why EAPs Work User-Friendly Mgmt. Referrals

    Every supervisor, at one time or another, has an employee with a performance problem. Sometimes this is the result of inadequate training, insufficient tools, or other job related factors. However, many times it has nothing to do with the company, it is the result of a personal problem.

One of the primary benefits of having an EAP available to employees is that the supervisor may recommend the employee seek assistance before the employee's job performance reaches a critical stage. This assistance costs the employee nothing.

The employee's problem remains confidential. The supervisor does not know what the problem is or if the employee has attended unless the employee gives written permission.

Additionally, a supervisor may speak to an EAP counselor to get advice on how to handle a sensitive situation. The EAP therapist will coach the supervisor on how to approach a troubled employee.

The EAP provides a Win-Win situation for everyone concerned; the company, the supervisor, the employee.
