Download or read book EAP Employee Assistance Programs in the Public Schools written by Carol Hacker and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee assistance programs (EAP's) have been set up by many businesses and organizations to help employees resolve their personal problems so they can maintain or resume an acceptable job performance level. So far, only a few public school districts have considered or implemented such programs. This monograph examines EAP's in general and focuses on their feasibility for school districts. While communities willingly support specialized services for students needing help with academic choices and personal problems, school district employees' problems have not been addressed because of scarce financial resources and schools' concern about public image. Yet keeping adult workers highly productive seems as worthy a goal as turning students into good workers. Chapter 2 considers three alternative models for school EAP's, while chapter 3 discusses available services, staff, referrals, and publicity methods. Chapter 4 tackles a variety of issues, including client population, wellness programs, organizational fit, recordkeeping, and legal problems. Chapter 5 treats measurement of EAP effectiveness, focusing on absenteeism and job performance evaluations as the best indicators. The last chapter outlines seven steps for developing and implementing a school district EAP. An appendix with forms and guidelines, a bibliography of 20 references, and a list of EAP organizations and publications are included. (MLH)

Contributors to this new volume--blending practical and academic insights--document concerns, address the newer issues and developments in the field of EAPs, and present case examples of actual evaluations. The range and diversity of topics reflect EAPs in transition, their growth patterns, evaluation needs, and evaluation methods.

Download or read book Cost effectiveness and Preventive Implications of Employee Assistance Programs written by Terry C. Blum and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers what the appropriate role of employee assistance programs (EAPs) might be, with attention to their contributions to the prevention of alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems. The principal contribution to the cost-effectiveness of EAPs in dealing with mental health problems, especially alcoholism and other drug dependence is through prevention. EAPs are important components of comprehensive worksite AOD abuse prevention programs. Their effectiveness can be demonstrated in reducing chronic heavy drinking as the focus of socializing and recreation, and in providing increased social support and respect for the recovering alcoholic and other drug-dependent coworker. Stemming indirectly from the EAP's presence and impact, employers, employees, and the family and community at large can become more thoughtful, reasonable, and careful about the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs.

"Workplace Responses," the second section, examines the history of occupational assistance, several models of employee assistance practice, the workplace management of dis/abilities, complications around drug testing on the job, the relevance of spirituality to the workplace, an Aboriginal perspective on work, and an evaluative mechanism for occupational programming. Intake and assessment, crisis intervention, critical incident stress management, brief treatment, counselling employees suffering from depression or experiencing grief, and the role of mediation inside and outside of the workplace are explored in the third section, entitled "Practice to Create Well Workplace." And finally, four Case Studies comprise the final section, spanning the country while representing five very different work sites, including a child welfare organization in Ontario, the workforce of the University of Saskatchewan, a Canadian public sector employee assistance program, and a religious site where occupational assistance has been applied to a church community.
