The EAP is an employer-sponsored service that aims to help employees manage their personal challenges. By providing assistance and support to employees on various issues, the program ensures their wellbeing and the maintenance of work-life balance.

Such problems are the following:

  • Important Life Events
  • Alcohol and Drug Use
  • Financial difficulties
  • Legal Issues
  • Family and Relationship Problems
  • Workplace and Career Problems
  • Psychological Disorders

The EAP provides assistance to employees in the following ways:

  • Personal consultation with a consultant (usually a certain number of consultations per person)
  • Phone consultation (limited or unlimited number, depending on the type of program).
  • Internet tools, materials and programs that help to get through difficult times.

24-Hour Phone Service

Employees and their eligible family members can access all EAP services through a toll-free phone line. Well-trained counselors are available to answer their questions directly.

  • They explain how the EAP service works.
  • They will organize a personal survey; or
  • They organize a legal, credit management, elderly care and other services related to the coordination of work and private life.
  • They carry out intervention by phone if necessary.

FIRST ASSESSMENT

The EAP counsellor and the employee discuss the problem, the circumstances and the possible solutions together. The EAP counsellor also examines how the employee's problems may affect the efficiency of their work. During the assessment:

  • They review the customer's rights, the EAP services and the issue of confidentiality.
  • They review current and related issues while assessing the worker's strengths, stress management abilities and motivation for change;
  • They assess whether there are any high-risk factors, such as substance dependence, suicidal tendencies or domestic violence.
  • They determine whether the employee's problems can be solved with short-term counseling within the EAP, or if treatment beyond the EAP is justified; and
  • They develop a solution action plan that addresses the employee's worries and issues that may affect the efficiency of their work.

Short-term Advice

Short-term counseling is most appropriate for situations related to lifestyle problems (e.g. marital problems, parenting issues, workplace stress, interpersonal communication problems, mild anxiety, grief and loss). This usually involves a certain number of counseling sessions (according to plan).

Treatment Beyond EAP

If the problem cannot be solved within the framework of the EAP, the EAP counselor will refer the employee to the most appropriate available professional for further counseling, treatment or support.

Crisis Situations

Advice for personal crisis:

If the employee struggles with cultural integration, workplace issues, anxiety, depression, family conflict or trauma, or other similar problems, they can quickly reach the right professional here.

Group Crisis Management

This service is typically provided when an unexpected, dramatic event affects multiple workers directly or indirectly at the workplace. The CGP EAP program provides assistance in crisis situations such as accidents, death, natural disasters and hostage situations. Following the crisis, CGP immediately contacts local providers and requests their intervention before the lack of trauma treatment has a negative impact on the workers.
