Don’t overlook employee assistance programs

It’s unfortunate but not uncommon for someone to bring work problems home with them – or the other way around, as personal problems can negatively impact job performance. Additionally, roughly one in four American adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.

That’s why employee assistance programs (EAP) are vital to an organization’s benefits package. EAPs can offer internal assistance or access to external resources to identify these problems and the proper ways to address them. For example, Western Pennsylvania-based MyAdvisor’s care coordination team assists individuals, families and businesses with holistic health and wellness services. Learn more here.
