EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS (EAPs) are an employee benefit program offered by many employers. Employers pre-pay or cover the costs. Employees and their covered family members can utilize the confidential counseling benefits at no cost. EAPs are intended to help employees deal with personal issues that might adversely impact their work performance, health, and well-being.
