The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is designed to support workers in their emotional, mental, and psychological well being. It is based at work and is available for employees and family members as well. The goal of the program is to aid employees maintain their optimum mental health as well as assist during times of difficulty. The methods include preventative and proactive tactics for early detection and resolution of individuals problems. When work drama or personal problems appear in people’s lives, their performance may be affected. Therefore companies are employing the EAP to allow their employees to thrive both in and outside of work. They understand that difficulties tackling mental health, addiction, or trauma can severely impact relationships and work success. Therefore, whether workers are suffering from anxiety, depression, substance addiction, gabmling, or psychiatric disorders, EAP has been designed to elevate their quality of life.
