Work declining behaviors require the attention of executives via support from Human Resources Management (HRM). Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) emerged as a tool to meet this need and was a result of civil service reforms that required human resource divisions to invest in cost reduction activities. EAP development has been the modern resolution to the problem of addressing poor performance. Human Resource Management has sustained operational continuity by adapting strategic plans due to civil service reform legislature. Such reforms are prompted by economic measures that impact HRM policies which often require changes in organizational structure and methods of service delivery. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) were a product of organizational efforts to recover from global issues of financial crisis and chronic medical ailment. This study examines the effectiveness of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) while considering factors that may compromise the integrity of EAP program values, that ultimately affects participation. For the purpose of this study, these factors are labelled as stigmatizing and can carry a negative impact on the attractiveness of employer provided supportive programs.
Download or read book Employee Assistance Programs written by Lawrence Mannion and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2004 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee assistance, as a profession and as a practical endeavor, is in serious trouble. Employee assistance programs that seemed so promising when they were initiated have fallen far short of their potential. Here, the author addresses the need for employee assistance programs to return to traditional roots, recover original purpose and vitality, and resurrect their true mission. The field is in an advanced state of dissolution. Why have employee assistance programs, which seemed so promising when they were initiated, fallen so far short of their potential? There are many reasons, including a preoccupation on the part of employee assistance professionals with vague notions of change and diversity without a corresponding concrete idea of what those terms mean, why they are desirable goals, or how to achieve them. There is also a lack of emphasis on management's role in anchoring employee assistance in the worksite. The solutions that are often proposed fall into three categories: trying to be all things to all people by including welfare-to-work and outplacement functions; discarding the traditional structure of employee assistance altogether while chasing the latest fad; and integrating employee assistance with managed mental health care. All three will fail, because none addresses the need for employee assistance to return to its traditional roots, recover its purpose and vitality, and resurrect its true mission. This book does address that need.
