Why is an Employee Assistance Program Needed?
At one point in time, employees will present with a family, marital,
stress-related, financial, legal or emotional problem serious enough to affect
job performance. Untreated, the job performance of these employees, usually
deteriorates. Employees have the opportunity to use the Employee Assistance
Program taking a pro-active approach to promoting prevention-oriented activities
and programs.
