EAP Employee Assistance Program:
What is the Employee Assistance
Program?
The Army’s voluntary, confidential
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) helps employees (including managers) to work
through life challenges that may adversely affect their job performance, health,
and personal well-being and to optimize an organization’s success. The EAP
includes a wide variety of services to promote productivity, to reduce
absenteeism, to enhance job performance and/or well-being and to support
worksite safety, to ensure that the Army’s mission is accomplished in an
efficient manner.
Services:
- Are free and include activities such as
screening/assessment, short-term counseling and referral for problems that
may affect job performance and/or well-being (see DODI 1010.09 for further
guidance).
- Offer employees and supervisors guidance,
consultation, mediation, and prevention education, all of which promote
productivity and well-being. Supervisory services of consultation and
mediation are provided to guide employees and managers in resolving issues
that may affect the Civilian workforce’s productivity. The EAP also often
works with managers and supervisors to provide advanced planning for
situations such as organizational changes, legal considerations, emergency
planning and response to unique traumatic events.
- Are also available to Department of the Army
Civilians to help resolve personal problems and enhance the employees’
ability to perform their duties.
Why Use the EAP?
- The program increases employee morale because EAP
coordinators (EAPCs) focus on helping workers to become productive again.
- It is preventive. EAPCs educate, evaluate, and
help plan solutions for a wide variety of personal issues for employees
and their family members before they become overwhelming.
- The EAP is an effective tool in assisting
supervisors to better manage the workplace and troubled employees. It is a
proactive way to extend a caring hand while building a more productive
workforce.
- It provides employees with a valuable resource to
help them cope with issues both on and off the job, including alcohol and
drug abuse, overall mental well-being, marital/relationship issues,
stress, dependent care and much more.
