Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are employer-sponsored benefit programs that provide confidential counseling, referrals, and support services to employees dealing with personal or work-related problems, such as mental health issues, substance abuse, financial stress, or family conflicts. They're typically administered by third-party providers and offer services like short-term counseling sessions, legal consultations, and crisis intervention at no direct cost to the employee. EAPs are used by HR departments and organizational leaders to support employee well-being and improve workplace productivity.
