EAP Program
We
recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and that an investment in your well-being is a sound investment for everyone.
We understand that each of us will be faced with a personal problem in our lives. Such common difficulties may or may not impact our work lives, but will certainly affect the satisfaction in our lives. Most personal concerns can be resolved, or their effects minimized, through appropriate assistance. A counselor helps people work through concerns much like a coach helps an athlete improve through supportive, objective feedback and suggestions.
The
Life Advisor Employee Assistance Program is a completely confidential, short-term counseling service, utilizing a practical approach toward problem resolution. Sometimes we are so close to a problem that it becomes hard to look at it, and therefore, we may have a difficult time identifying the solutions. Professional assistance can make the difference between a problem repeating itself, and resolving it for good the first time it occurs.
