The employee assistance program (EAP) is designed to identify and assist you in resolving personal problems (e.g., marital, financial or emotional problems; family issues; substance/alcohol abuse) that may be adversely affecting your performance.
Our plan also includes a wide array of other services, such as nurse advice telephone access, basic legal assistance and referrals, adoption assistance, or assistance finding elder care services.

Tips for Effective Communication
- Use Active Listening: Demonstrate that you are listening by nodding, making eye contact and confirming what they have said.
- Empathize: Put yourself in the other person's position. Imagine how they feel and show that you respect their point of view.
- Use "I" Statements: E.g. "I feel frustrated." Rather than "You make me frustrated." "I" Statements allow you to take a responsibility for how you feel and what you want.
- Be Humble: See yourself as you really are, with both strengths and weaknesses. Don't talk to people as if you are better than them.
- Stay Aware: Be thoughtful of what you say and avoid offending people. Do not talk over people or dominate conversations.
- Use Appropriate Language: Be aware of the company your are in and use language that is acceptable to those people.
