The Employee Assistance Program is designed to help employees and their family members with personal problems that may be too large or complex to be handled alone. Sometimes, these problems can interfere with an individual's ability to be successful at work.
The Employee Assistance Program provides confidential assessment, short-term counseling and referral services in a professional setting at no cost to the employee or family members. We believe that having healthy, well-adjusted employees results in improved job performance and productivity.
